SciFinder - web version

SciFinder is the electronic version of chemical abstracts and is produced by CAS (Chemical Abstract Service). Users can search through over 10000 journals along with patent references and substance information for over 37 million substances.

The database is unusual in that it requires users to have an individual account assigned to them. To get a username and password, Stockholm University students and researchers can send an e-mail to ejouren@sub.su.se with name, e-mail (must be an su e-mail adress) and university department.

We have two version of SciFinder, one web-based and one through a locally installed program. The university has a total of six simultaneous total users allowed. Since we are just started to use the web-based version there is currently a maximum of one user at a time through the web. As more researchers start to use the web version, we will increase the maximum number of simultaneouse users available in the online version and decrease the number available through the locally installed program.
