Some key points for SciFinder users ...

• SciFinder Scholar is only available on-campus at this time. It'll be available in the Fall for off-campus use through SciFinder Scholar Web.
  


• SciFinder Scholar is limited to one user at a time. The message "Login failed: Too many concurrent sessions for this login id." means that another SciFinder Scholar user is logged on. Wait and try SciFinder Scholar again in a few minutes.
  


• SciFinder will retrieve articles in full text from the American Chemical Society Archives and our EBSCO full-text databases. SciFinder Scholar also links to many publishers' pay-per-use sites. Patrons should use interlibrary loan for any pay-per-use article; in most cases we'll be able to get the article for the patron at no charge.
  


• The SciFinder Scholar Support Site (http://www.cas.org/support/academic/sf/) is the primary place to find help on SciFinder searching.
