SciFinder Scholar moves to web!

Fondren Library is changing access to SciFinder Scholar to a web version. The web version has the following advantages:

- no downloading required of SciFinder and VPN client software.
- remote authentication is now possible using your NetID username and password after clicking on the web link.

A personal Rice login is required to access the web version of SciFinder Scholar.

Please go to the SciFinder library page at http://library.rice.edu/collections/eresources/scifinder-scholar/ at your earliest convenience and contact the SciFinder site administrator to register your personal Rice login.

The migration deadline is March 31. During this period the 3 SciFinder seats will be moved gradually from the client version to the web version. We thank you for your patience if you encounter unusual busy times with SciFinder Scholar during this transition period.
