The eBook is in the form of a regular (unprotected) PDF, and is derived
from learning materials used at Indiana University. It gives an intensive
introduction to cheminformatics, including the history of the field,
representing 2D and 3D chemical structures on computer, storing and using
databases of chemical and related biological information, handling chemical
information on the web and in the scholarly literature, and giving an
overview of some advanced topics such as use of cheminformatics in
chemistry libraries, clustering and diversity, QSAR and predictive
modeling, 3D alignment and docking, and software toolkits cheminformatics
software. The eBook is provided in PDF format, and is split into 12
lessons, each focusing on a particular area of cheminformatics. The first
six are focused on the foundational aspects of the field, such as
representing 2D structures, and the remaining six cover more advanced
applications in the field. Each lesson details learning objectives and
concludes with a set of questions that are designed to be thought
provoking, with responses and answers in a final chapter. The text is
hyperlinked to current resources on the web, with references to pertinent
external articles where appropriate.

The eBook is designed for computing, biology, bioinformatics, chemistry,
library science and other students needing an introduction to the field,
and also would be suitable for professional life science or computing
practitioners who need a rapid, flexible introduction to cheminformatics.
