Chemistry Dictionary for Microsoft Office and Open Office

Don't you hate it when you are typing up a paper, and MS Word says that you misspelled diol, methylene, or pyrene? It makes you want to ignore the spell checker altogether! One solution is to download the free chemistry dictionary, written by an organic chemist, from

http://www.chemistry-blog.com/dictionary/.

It takes just a minute, is compatible for MS Office (Windows or mac) and Open Office (Windows or Linux) and next time you are typing tolualdehyde or phenanthrene, you won't get those squiggly red lines under all your words.

SciFinder Web

The Kresge Library is pleased to announce the availability of the web version of SciFinder. To access SciFinder on the web, you must first create a username/password account here. After you register, you are ready to get started with SciFinder Web. Access is restricted to the Scripps Research network, including VPN.

You can now set up "Keep Me Posted" alerts, previously only available to corporate customers. This allows you to set up reaction, substructure, and research topic alerts. More information on setting up Keep Me Posted alerts can be found at the Chemical Abstracts Service website.

There are a few adjustments to make full use of the web version of SciFinder. To enable structure searching, you will need to download a Java plugin for your web browser. If you have Java enabled, but do not have the SciFinder web plugin installed, your browser should prompt you to install it the first time you use the structure editor. More information is available at: http://www.cas.org/misc/downloads/jreplugin.html. To access full-text of journal articles, you may have to change your browser settings to allow pop up windows for scifinder.cas.org in order to see ChemPort options for full-text.

If you have questions about the web version of SciFinder, or any other library resources, please contact Aileen Chang of the Kresge Library at helplib@scripps.edu.
