We invited researchers from Eawag, Empa, PSI & WSL to learn more about this new discovery environment to join the free webinar (agenda) held by Dr Ilja Burdman, a SciFinder expert and representative for CAS at ACS International.
Lib4RI recently subscribed to the full CAS SciFinder Discovery Platform including the modules SciFinder-n (the successor of SciFinder Classic, Formulus and Analytical Methods.
The SciFinder Discovery Platform features SciFinder-n to access the content collection of the Chemical Abstract Service (CAS), the integrated formulation database Formulus for chemical product development, and Analytical Methods for searching and comparing published scientific methods. Curated by expert scientists, the SciFinder Discovery Platform is based on a broad international collection of journals, patents and other sources.
See here, for more info and access to the SciFinder Discovery platform.

The library Lib4RI invited interested researchers from Eawag, Empa, PSI and WSL to this workshop held by Dr Philippe Kamalaprija, a representative for CAS at ACS International. Philippe introduced our newly subscribed product MethodsNow and also provided a best practice demonstration for SciFinder.
MethodsNow features step-by-step instructions for analytical and synthetic methods in areas like water analysis, pharmacology, HPLC, food analysis, natural product isolation analysis, plus:
SciFinder provides researchers with access to the Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) and its digital research environment to search, retrieve, analyse and link chemical information. SciFinder is based on a broad international collection of journals, patents and other sources. The Best Practice SciFinder demonstration will assist you to use the database in a more efficient and productive manner. For example, do you know that when searching a particular topic you should avoid using and/or? Do you know that we have experimental procedures and we can perform retro-synthesis? Do you know how to search Analytic information (categorize)?
The library Lib4RI invited interested researchers from Eawag, Empa, PSI and WSL to this course held by Tom Corser, training manager at CABI.
Tom Corser, training manager at CABI. Based at CABI’s head office in the UK, Tom has been with CABI for over 4 years and manages CABI’s customer training for online databases. With a scientific background in applied life sciences and extensive knowledge of database searching, Tom will demonstrate tools that can help attendees discover more content relevant to them when conducting literature reviews. He is particularly happy to discuss individual examples from the audience.
