Helping librarians in Supporting Scientists in natural sciences.

For the past two decades and technological advances, the needs of scientists have changed significantly. The scientific information has more than doubled since 2000, making the librarian’s role even more complex. They have to support scientists during their research, being an important hub of the information. One of their tasks is to find the most comprehensive resources with user-friendly interfaces, that will help with their R&D, and will save time.

At CAS, we have worked for more than 110 years on curating, connecting, and analyzing the world’s published science in chemistry and related fields to create such a resource of information, known worldwide as CAS SciFinder-n. It is the latest scientific information solution from CAS. CAS SciFindern includes relevance-ranked results, step-by-step procedures and protocols, citation mapping, biosequence searching, retrosynthetic prediction and analysis, patent landscape mapping, touch-screen enabled structure drawing and much more—all accessible in a simple, easy-to-use interface.
