Try out SciFinder on the Web
If you haven’t tried out this new version of SciFinder, maybe it’s time.  You’ll find access at the same Boston College Libraries’ web site (navigate from www.bc.edu/libraries >> Databases >> Type in “SciFinder” (you’ll be asked for your Agora information).  You will need to register for a personal account, then will need to use that for access in the future.  A big advantage of the personal account is that you will be able to set up SciFinder weekly alerts on the topics you’re following (“Keep Me Posted”).  All future upgrades to SciFinder will take place on the web platform, not on the client.
