SciFinder Scholar Two-Fer
A two-for-one for chemistry! Our renewal of SciFinder Scholar has given us two new upgrades!
Substructure Module (SSM)
This is a feature that some of you have requested, and was a free upgrade when we renewed. From the CAS website:
" . . . ability to include variable groups and R-groups in your structure. By default, substructure searches retrieve exact results, plus substances with additional substitution and/or ring fusion."
For more info, see http://www.cas.org/SCIFINDER/ssm.html.
Two Concurrent Users
Where previously only one person from W&L was able to use SciFinder at a time, we will now have two concurrent users. This will increase access greatly, and reduce turnaways.
These upgrades will not take place until March 1. Stay tuned for software upgrades, if necessary.
