The Marilyn Grant Gift Collection
I wanted to let you know of a wonderful gift that we have received this summer in memory of the late Marilyn Grant, M.S. Chemistry (Boston College).  Marilyn was the Chemistry Librarian here at BC from 1971 - 2003, and she was much loved, for many reasons, but especially for her warmth, her strong service orientation and her pioneering work in library technology.  She particularly loved working with students.   This summer, to honor Marilyn, Dr. Larry Clifford has given us a gift of technology, especially useful for students, on the passing of his wife, Joyce Clifford, a close friend of Marilyn's.  Dr. Clifford's gift provides access to the Royal Society of Chemistry "Organic Chemistry" e-book collection 2000 - 2010.  You can access these 46 titles using Holmes (http://bc.edu/holmes) -- you will likely come across them in your typical subject searches, but you can also find the complete list by searching for "Marilyn Grant".  (Records should soon carry the designation "Marilyn Grant Gift Collection".)
