Due to the new development of a web version of SciFinder Scholar, CAS has announced that the client version of SciFinder will be discontinued as of June 30, 2011 for all US and Canadian academic institutions.  The client version will remian fully supported until that date.  On that date, all seats at these institutions will access the web version only.  By June 30, 2011, please remove the basic client software from your personal computer.

Don't know where to find journal articles?  Try these databases:

Web of Science  Provides a search by cited reference, topic, author, and more for articles in almost all important English-language journals. Arts and Humanities covers 1975-present; Social Sciences 1956-present; and Science 1900-present.  Works poorly with Safari. 

SciFinder Scholar  Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) databases of chemistry and related scientific fields. Mid 1800's-present. SciFinder Web requires account registration with UMass Amherst email account. License terms require that users connect to SciFinder Web through a computer on the UMass Amherst network.

Accessing databases from off-campus requires that you log-in with your OIT username and password.
