CAS have developed a version of SciFinder for smartphones.
BUT
On iPads it will go to the full version, so SciFinder here does require IP authentication and it counts toward our concurrent usage.
Providing you’ve registered to use the web version of SciFinder (and if you haven’t please visit the Library’s SciFinder page) you can log into your account from your smartphone via scifinder.cas.org/mobile whether on, or off campus and access the mobile friendly SciFinder interface.
Best of all, using the mobile version will not count towards our current seat allocation, so you can do a quick search from your mobile even if all our seats are being used.
SciFinder mobile can do the following :
Explore by Research Topic. Locate information on a specific area of research
Explore by Substance Identifier. Search for substances of interest to retrieve information such as molecular formula, predicted properties, and experimental properties
Explore by Author Name. Enter an author’s name to retrieve links to their published research
Explore by Company Name. Find research and patents issued by a particular company, academic institution, or government organization
Review Keep Me Posted Alerts.* Stay up-to-date with the latest articles or patents found via your SciFinder Keep Me Posted alerts
Review Saved Answers.* Retrieve previously saved SciFinder search results on your smartphone
* From alerts and answer sets created in the web version of SciFinder only
(Please note: you will be limited to no more than 100 detailed substance or reference displays per individual user per day.)
What you cannot do at this time (I expect some of these will be in future version depending on feedback from users)
CAS are eager to get feedback, so do let me know what you think of the mobile version of SciFinder by emailing mcbrown@uci.edu
