SciFinder Scholar available on the web

The SciFinder Scholar client is being phased out at the end of September. All new users should start using the web version of SciFinder Scholar and users who have all been using the client version should be preparing to change over to the web service.

The change should be easy for most people to cope with. Users simply need to get a personal login and go to the new URL. How to do that? Start at the SciFinder Scholar entry in the databases page or Tropicat and follow the link to the instructions to (1) login and/or (2) get a username/password.
