Important news we brought you this past year included highlights of the ACS National Meetings in Salt Lake City and Washington, DC, including access to recorded national meeting presentations; timely links to services for unemployed ACS members; inauguration of the ACS Fellows program; focus on green chemistry and sustainability efforts by ACS; recognition of the generous donation in support of education programs from the Hach Foundation; launch of the Employment Dashboard; introduction of the new journal, ACS Chemical Neuroscience; and announcement of strategic efforts like the ACS-SCI alliance, as well as the establishment of National Lab Day in 2010. You can read everything we've published in the ACS Matters archive; if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions, we'd love to hear from you.

ACS Publications is excited to be spending January 27-28, 2010, on the Vanderbilt University campus, for the debut of the ACS on Campus initiative. ACS Publications and Membership & Scientific Advancement staff will be on site, providing training on ACS web tools, introducing new ACS products, and sharing the ACS strategic vision - "improving people's lives through the transforming power of chemistry" - with some of the most important contributors and users of ACS content. Because we want to hear from the entire ACS community - librarians, students, researchers, and faculty - we invite the Vanderbilt campus, all members of the Nashville Section of the ACS, and anyone else who is in the Nashville area to attend the various events on those two days. Visit the ACS on Campus web site for a complete agenda of events or to request an invitation.
