Global Challenges/Chemistry Solutions is a series of podcasts describing some of the 21st Century’s most daunting problems, and how cutting-edge research in chemistry matters in the quest for solutions. This sweeping panorama of global challenges includes dilemmas such as providing a hungry, thirsty world with ample supplies of safe food and clean water; developing alternatives to petroleum to fuel society; preserving the environment and assuring a sustainable future for our children; and improving human health. An ongoing saga of chemistry for life — chemistry that truly matters — Global Challenges debuts in June and continues through December.

Having trouble connecting to an online resource? Please use the Connection Problems Form on the “Ask Us” Page
“Ask Us” is in the upper right corner of most Stanford University Libraries web pages. Problems reported are monitored by several staff. Using this form makes it much easier for staff to do trouble-shooting as in addition to knowing what resource is unavailable, the form also collects critical information such as your operating system, browser used, and IP address.

Efforts are underway to update Swain’s web pages. A protype of what the top level pages might look like was created with the center area in a 2-column format. As an alternative for the center area, we also mocked up the Quick Links page in a 1-column format. Do you prefer 2-column or 1-column format for center region?
To help insure that Swain’s pages meet your needs, please send comments and suggestions to graceb@stanford.edu. Many thanks in advance for your input!
