Abstract
The last decade saw the development of computer-readable chemical reaction databases with many useful features for chemists, particularly the ability to search by structure and reaction site. An overview of user needs, as well as the current status of major reaction databases, including ORAC, REACCS, and CASREACT, is presented. Some possibilities for future developments in the area are also suggested.
