SciFinder Scholar Chemistry Database Web Version Now Available
SciFinder Scholar, the CAS database, has released a Web-based version! The client version (which the College had been using) will cease to work on March 20, 2009. However, current faculty, students, and staff can start using the Web version right away!
Caveat #1: Current students, faculty, and staff have to register with CAS to use the Web version.
Caveat #2: Current students, faculty, and staff have to register from a computer on the K College campus.
Caveat #3: The link to register is on a password-protected page (current students, faculty, and staff will need their K College username and password to access this page):
http://www.kzoo.edu/reserves/scifinder/register/
Once you're on this page, you'll see a REGISTER FOR SCIFINDER SCHOLAR link at the top. CAS allows you to use your own username and password to get in to the Web version of SciFinder Scholar, so you'll get to make something up.
Caveat #4: Current students, faculty, and staff have to register with their kzoo.edu email address. See this PDF for details: http://www.kzoo.edu/reserves/scifinder/register/HowToRegisterToUseSciFinder.pdf
The good news is that SciFinder Scholar is now available from off campus! If you are a current student, faculty, or staff member and have trouble accessing SciFinder Scholar from off campus, PLEASE LET US KNOW at snowicki@kzoo.edu or reference@kzoo.edu.
Links for registration and SciFinder Scholar access (once you're registered) are available on the Databases page off the Library website: http://www.kzoo.edu/is/library/databases.html
Enjoy the Web version of SciFinder Scholar!
