ACD/Web Librarian

ACD/Web Librarian allows users to search and view information stored in ACD/Spectrus DB databases in a convenient Web browser interface. Data is displayed in a virtual, centralized repository that is accessible to authorized members of the organization to browse, review, utilize, and report. Web Librarian is an efficient, cost-effective way to make analytical and chemical information available in your organization—across the lab, or across the globe.

Web Librarian can be customized to enable searching and viewing within your own web interface, and ACD/Web Librarian Web Services provides a platform-independent XML (eXtensible Markup Language) Web Service using SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) over HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) running under Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS).

Features

  • Search databases by a variety of parameters including exact structure/reaction, substructure/subreaction, user data, spectrum or chromatogram parameters, and more
  • Create restrictions on access to sensitive data, create user groups, and monitor client connections
  • Export and save spectra and structures from the database
  • Pass record data to other ACD/Labs products for further processing or reporting
  • Generate reports including spectra, structures, reactions, and all accompanying information in Microsoft Word (DOC), Adobe Acrobat (PDF), ACD/ChemSketch (SK2), and HTML formats

Benefits

  • Facilitate collaboration by allowing shared information across organizations
  • Efficient delivery of results to decision-makers
  • Safe, secure, and cost-effective

Full List of Features

  • Navigate through the network and locate plain files and databases using a browser
  • Browse databases in One Record, Tile, or Table viewing modes
  • Search through databases by a variety of parameters including exact structure/reaction, substructure/subreaction, user data, spectrum or chromatogram parameters, similar spectrum/subspectrum, multiplets, record ID, and many others
  • Create a special list of filters/subfilters, available either to all users or for your work only, to define searching conditions for all/current database(s) or a particular data type
  • Search data on the basis of scanned barcode information, or put barcodes containing partial record information into your report
  • Use the ACD/Web Librarian searching/viewing facilities from other ACD/Labs desktop programs
  • View spectra and structures in scalable pop-up windows and copy them as images to the Windows clipboard. Customize the database view.
  • Manipulate record lists, e.g., merge, intersect, or subtract them
  • Pass record data to ACD/Spectrus Processor
  • Export spectra in the following formats:
    • ESP
    • JCAMP
    • ASCII
  • Export/save structures or reaction schemes in the following formats:
