SciFinder Scholar "How to..." Guides

Introduction

SciFinder Scholar, an online version of the print Chemical Abstracts back to 1967, is a database available to faculty, staff, and students at OSU. The database provides a quick way to get answers about authors, chemical substances, and patent information and indexes over 8,000 journals. The database was designed to be easy to use and this page will help you get started.

Unlike other databases available through the Library's homepage, the SciFinder Scholar software must be downloaded to the user's computer, either PC or Macintosh, before the database may be accessed. To find out more about downloading the software, please go to the following address: http://www.library.okstate.edu/sed/scifinder/.
