SciFinder Scholar
Meta database Patent and Journal References from all scientific disciplines, Substance information, Chemical reactions, Regulated chemicals information, Commercially available substances. Searches simultaneously the following sources: Chemical AbstractsPlus; CAS REGISTRY; CHEMLIST; CHEMCATS -Online Chemical Catalogs File, MEDLINE and OLDMEDLINE 1958- present. Chemical Structure searches are limited to exact matches of a drawn structure as well as structure with substitution at open positions on the drawn structure.
NOTE: SciFinder Scholar is located in the CD-ROM folder found in the start menu of the public work stations. Databases Included in SciFinder Scholar
Search the entire Chemical Abstracts database from 1907 - present. Chemical substance information is available back to 1967. For substance information prior to 1967, use Beilstein Crossfire. SciFinder Scholar is available from 02:00 Sunday to 18:00 Saturday. The KSU subscription now includes two simultaneous seats with 24-hour access (no substructure searching is available). Content at a glance.
