SciFinder
SciFinder has recently been acquired under the auspices of IReL (Irish Research Electronic Library). This is the first additional online resource to become available to DIT staff and students since we joined the nationally funded research library initiative earlier this year.
SciFinder provides access to the Chemical Abstracts Services (CAS) collection of indexed literature back to1907. It provides useful information that have a chemical structure at their core. In addition to the references and abstracts found in Chemical Abstracts (1907-Present), SciFinder's comprehensive content includes information on substances, patents, experimental and predicted properties, and spectra.
This provides academics and students in the chemical and pharmaceutical sciences with a valuable new resource
Details for registering and using the database are available on the Library A-Z listing of databases - https://www.dit.ie/library/database
