Overview

SciFinder, a web-based database produced by Chemical Abstracts Service, provides access to the world’s chemistry-related literature and patents.   The web version has recently been released to the Emory University community and replaces the extremely popular, indispensible and locally-installed client, Scifinder Scholar.

Woodruff Library is proud to announce that it is accepting entries for the 2010 Undergraduate Research Award. The Library will award up to three prizes of $500 each for undergraduate research projects making excellent use of library resources.  One prize is designated for first-year students. 

EndNote X3 offers the option to find the full-text of the references downloaded to your EndNote library. I’ve had excellent results with this feature for references downloaded from PubMed.

Before trying to find the full text you have to set your preferences in EndNote. Choose: Edit/Preferences/Find Full Text.

Check all four of the boxes on the preferences box, if they are not already checked.

Two URLs need to be added to the preferences box.

Searching for reliable information at this stage of the digital evolution is not yet a seamless process. Not everything is digitized.

Citation tracking, or citation analysis tools in databases are used to find out how many times an author or article has been cited by others. It is often used to determine an author's or work's "impact" in a particular discipline. Find out which databases offer this feature and see our list of other online resources in our Libguide.
