*“Realizing Scientific Strategies Amid Information Overload”* *Guest
speaker: Daniel Reasoner, Chemical Abstract Service*

There is a multitude of scientific data generators and information sources
available that are intended to help shape research strategy, thus leading
to a stifling overload of information. This discussion provides examples on
the importance of identifying relevant decision making materials and ways
librarians can add value to their organization’s strategic success. We will
explore patents vs publications, as well as free and paid-for resources.
