About SciFinder Web

Connect to Database
(4 concurrent users allowed; please logoff when finished.)
Subject Provides access to the Chemical Abstracts and other databases, covering journals in chemistry and related fields. Note: Now available via the web, with an individual logon, using your 'wustl.edu' email address. Use this registration form to sign up for your account. Also: since this is a secure site, accessing it from off-campus via the proxy server will give you a certificate error (because the URL has libproxy.wustl.edu in it, and the certificate does not expect that). Click continue or OK to access SciFinder via the web.
