From Bill Armstrong, our Chemistry Librarian:
“SciFinder Scholar has now been upgraded to the 2006 version in the
Reference area, including Ref Desk. The OCS labs have already been upgraded
as well.
Most of the improvements have been to the substructure searching
capabilities, but there are a couple of other organizational changes on the
opening search screen I wanted to call your attention to. Previously, your
access points to the bibliographic literature and the compound Registry
file were all found on the opening screen. Now they’re organized into two
groups: Explore and Locate. Under Explore, you’ll find the Topic Search,
one of the two types of searches you’ll do the most. The other search
useful to you is the compound search by name or CAS RN, and this is now
located under Locate.”
