SciFinder Scholar & SciFinder Web

By uscreference

Just a friendly reminder from your science librarian. You may occassionally get a question about accessing SciFinder Scholar or that it is no longer working for someone. You can just refer them to me or you can let them know about these options:

1. SciFinder Web – The latest way to access SciFinder, patrons just register once using their USC email address to create a user name and password. They can then access SciFinder through any browser over the web. Big Plus #1: Works greats with PCs AND Macs. Big PLus #2: Searching is availble off-campus via EZ-Proxy (not available with option below)

2. SciFinder Scholar 2007 Client. The 2007 (latest) version of SciFinder Scholar is available for download and works just as the old versions did. Only available off-campus through VPN.

Both of these options are listed under “S” in the ER database. Clicking About will provide links to the appropriate registration or download page.
