I announced to the NJIT community the coming of Scifinder Scholar on the Web

I am pleased to announce that NJIT will be moving to a web version of Scifinder Scholar in the spring semester. It will no longer be necessary to download software or remember the site.prf file. The database will not change, but there will be some new enhancements. A major change will be that every NJIT person wanting to search SFS will have to create their own username and password to use the web version. Each user must have an active NJIT e-mail address. In early 2009 I will send instructions on how to register. The client version of Scifinder Scholar will be available until the beginning of the spring semester. I will make an announcement when NJIT access to it will cease.

Chemical Abstracts Service is giving e-seminars on the web version of Scifinder Scholar.
