SciFinder Scholar is now SciFinder®

The information service from the American Chemical Society (ACS) that was previously available at specific workstations has migrated to a web-based version. Now SJU users will be able to work from any computer that has internet access, at any location.

To use the web version of SciFinder®, users must first set up individual accounts:

• Go to the SJU Library SciFinder® User Registration


• Be sure to use your sju.edu email address in the registration process


• CAS will send an email to the user


• The user must respond to that email within 48 hours in order to use the account.
  
  Note: after confirming the registration, SciFinder® will direct the user to https://scifinder.cas.org --- but this link will not work from off-campus.

Accessing SciFinder® after an account has been set up:

• Access is via the SciFinder® site.
  (http://ezproxy.sju.edu/login?url=https://scifinder.cas.org)


• Once an account has been set up, the user can specify Preferences.

SciFinder®  - info         Now web-based!
Chemical Abstracts Service's SciFinder® is designed especially for use by students and faculty. This research tool allows point and click access to several major chemical and medical databases including:

• CAplus
• Registry
• CASREACT
• CHEMCATS
• CHEMLIST
• CHEMCAT

Note:

• Sessions are set to time out at 20 minutes.
• SJU has SciFinder® access for just one user at a time.  If you log on and see this message, then SciFinder is already in use. Try again later.
