Back to Mac Help

During the April 2008 American Chemical Society meeting CAS announced the launching a Web-based version of Scifinder Scholar. This version will replace the present client-based version being used at the University of Utah. It was explained that the rollout was to be slow, a few institutions at a time. Well, it is now the University of Utah’s turn to switch to Scifinder Scholar Web. The Marriott Library has changed the entry to Scifinder Scholar on its list of Article Databases with the information you will need to use this new version of Scifinder Scholar.
