Byron A. Soule was a faculty member at the University of Michigan who taught a course in the use of the chemical literature to both undergraduate and graduate students.  He was also an early chairman (1954) of the ACS Division of Chemical Literature, the forerunner to the current Division of Chemical Information.  His “Library Guide for the Chemist” grew out of his course, and was a widely used reference to the searching of the chemical literature.  While admittedly not a comprehensive chemical bibliography, it was for its time a very useful guide to the wider chemical literature.  This paper will give some information about the career of Soule along with discussion of the contents of the book.<br/>
