Access to chemical information has evolved dramatically over the past 50 years, from printed to electronic to networked. Channeling and focusing this torrent of information to meet the specific needs of researchers has increased exponentially over time, and has required librarians to become beta testers, instructors, and negotiators. Dana Roth's contributions to chemical information, and to the field of librarianship as a whole, cannot be overestimated. This talk will highlight key contributions that Roth has made to the relationships between the Caltech Library and publishers, and between the Library and the campus research community. These relationships continue to fluorish and expand, and examples of past efforts and current projects from across the Caltech Library will be discussed.
