Training Aids
Audio/video courses: Both audio and video training courses of IR spectroscopy are available from American
Chemical Society.
Programmed learning book: GEORGE, W. O., AND P. S. MCINTYRE, Infrared Spectroscopy, Analytical Chemistry
by Open Learning Project, D. J. Mowthorpe, ed. New York: Wiley, 1987.
Short courses: A number of short courses and workshops are generally held in conjunction with American Chemi-
cal Society National Meeting, Pittsburgh Conference and Eastern Analytical Symposium. The subjects cov-
ered include interpretation of IR spectra, sampling techniques, and accessories. Chemistry short courses of IR
spectroscopy are also offered by the Center for Professional Advancement (East Brunswick, N.J.), Chemistry
Department of Miami University (Oxford, OH), and Spectros Associates (Northbridge, MA).
Software: IR Mentor, a software aid to spectral interpretation, is available from Sadtler Division, Bio-Rad Labora-
tories, Inc.
