ACA On-Line

Several new services are available as part of the ACA Internet Server. These services are supported by the ACA, the US National Committee for Crystallography (USNCCr) and the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC). SDSC has added to its strategic goals the support for scientific societies such as the ACA and USNCCr. The new services are all reachable via the ACA World Wide Web server: URL http://nexus.hwi.buffalo.edu/ACA/ and anonymous ftp from rosebud.sdsc.edu in the directory/pub/sdsc/societies/ACA

The services are:

• Positions vacant - The list formerly maintained by Martha Teeter and any job postings as seen in the ACA newsletter. This list overlaps with that maintained by the WWW Virtual Library for Crystallography (URL http://www.unige.ch/crystal/job-index.html) and both should be searched for complete coverage. Searching may be by type of position or geographic location (WWW only).
• Miscellaneous information - For example, equipment for sale, forthcoming meeting etc.
• Search for a crystallographer's Electronic mail address (WWW only) - This searches on the list formerly distributed by M. Teeter.

Contributions to any of these services may be made by sending mail to bourne@sdsc.edu. WWW forms based contributions will be possible in the near future, refer to the ACA WWW home page for details.

In addition the following information is available concerning the USNCCr: Charter - Functions - Membership - Roster - Call for Nominations.
