SciFinder-n

IMPORTANT NOTICE:  As of April 1, 2021, we have upgraded traditional SciFinder to SciFinder-n. Classic SciFinder has been discontinued.

If you already have a SciFnder account, you will be able to log into SciFinder-n using your existing credentials, but if you log into traditional SciFinder you will see an error message.

New users will need to register for SciFinder-n using your SHU email address, and then create an ID and password to set up your account.  Normally you have to do this on campus.  Once you have set up an account you can access SciFinder-n from any computer.

How to set up your SciFinder-n Web Account

You need to be on-campus to set up your account (once your account is created, you will be able to access it from off-campus as well).  Here are the steps

2.  You should see "Welcome to SciFinder-n - we are going to register you as a new user"  - click on "NEXT"

3.  Complete the registration form. 

a. In the contact information “email” box, use your SHU email address.
