AGENDA
CAS Why SciFinder Process Overview Advantages Of SciFinder
Scholar Questions
Chemical Abstracts & SciFinder
Started as Indexing and Abstracting service in 1907
Earlier known as Chemical Abstracts (CA) in its print version
An ideal example for Library Science students and professionals to study evolution of CA to current version SciFinder.
Librarian Support
Many Libraries with print CA have taken active role in helping users in searching various indexes of CA and helped them to locate right information quickly.
This support and training still needed for SciFinder
Chemical Abstracts Service
Why SciFinder (CA) is different? CA needs more than 600 scientists
with PhDs with specialization in various fields to complete indexing
Why professional indexing is needed?
Try and search uses of below substance in full-text journals.

Why SciFinder? Content – much more than author
abstracts Indexing with Intellectual analysis
publications Covers Non English journals and
patents Search reactions and substances Concept based searching Currency
