Remote desktop updated with recent Cambridge Structural Database data release

The February 2017 Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) data update is now available through the remote desktop. This release added 18,092 new entries to the database and updated CSD software to the latest versions.

(This update was delayed by other maintenance work on the remote desktop. Normally updates are applied as soon as they are released by CCDC.)

Shibboleth access to NCDS resources now available

Web browser-based National Chemical Database Service resources at http://cds.rsc.org can now be accessed off-campus by logging in using Shibboleth. When accessing NCDS resources off-campus, click “Authenticate with Shibboleth” and then either log in using an Athens Login or choose your academic institution from the UK Federation list.

We hope that Shibboleth access will provide a convenient way for you to access National Chemical Database Service resources from any location.

Update on CDS January 27th 2013

In the past week we have rolled out a couple of updates to the CDS. Of course this happens in the background with as minimum downtime as possible. These updates deliver as follows:

* ACD/Labs Ilab platform: Removal of license, Fixed bug with molfile reader, Replace drawing editor with Javascript version rather than Java

* Accelrys Available Chemicals Directory integration: Bug fixes and tweaks to the name/structure widget

We are presently focusing our efforts on the following activities:

* Moving ahead with the integration of the DETHERM database

* Identifying other online resources that the community might want to see integrated (feel free to leave your suggestions in the comments section below)

* Processing a very large deposition of Mass Spectrometry data that we can serve up as an integrated resource

* We are in discussions to integrate the WebCSD into the chemical database service

* We are also discussing with a number of other database/service suppliers in order to facilitate access to additional capabilities

* We are presently reviewing new Javascript widgets that will allow for the display of assigned NMR, IR and Mass spectral data that will be integrated into the CDS in the coming weeks

We also had our first meeting with a small panel of CDS users and advisors and will be considering and implementing as appropriate some of their feedback. This will be reported in more detail in a separate post.
