Received: 14 January 2000 / Accepted: 14 January 2000 / Published: 21 January 2000 Abstract: Cambridge University Department of Chemistry has a list of University Chemis- try Departments and Chemistry-related journals around the world: ChemSites (http://www.ch.cam.ac.uk/ChemSitesIndex.html). This article describes what makes it dis- tinct from other lists, and justifies the existence of more than one such list. Keywords: ChemSites, ChemJournals, Cambridge Chemistry Index, Chemistry2000. Introduction The Department of Chemistry at Cambridge has maintained a list of University Chemistry Depart- ments with WWW servers and of Chemistry Journals with an internet presence, since 1994. This index is called ChemSites and is available on the http://www.ch.cam.ac.uk/ChemSitesIndex.html URL. When it started, there were only a dozen or so such departments and the task was a very easy one. Now, the list is about two thousand sites. When the Cambridge index was started, the WWW virtual library had an up-to-date chemistry page at UCLA (/chempointers.html) [1]. There are now many other useful lists of chemistry departments including Links for Chemists main- tained at Liverpool by Michael Barker which has 6250 links (in July 1999) and started in 1995 [2], and ChemDex, maintained at Sheffield by Mark Winter, which started in 1993 and has 4036 links (in July ? 2000 by MDPI ().
