LANL employees can now sign up for a SciFinder-n account through the website. You will need to use the 'register for enterprise or government use' link on the front page of the SciFinder-n website, and sign up using your LANL email address.
Your SciFinder-n account is yours - do not use it to perform searches for other people or organizations.
Do not share your password and ID with other people. Sharing your account is a violation of your agreement with SciFinder-n and CAS.
While working at LANL, use only the username and password assigned to you by CAS that is associated with your lab email. Do not continue to use this lab-affiliated SciFinder-n account after leaving the lab - you will need to contact scifinder@lanl.gov when departing LANL.
SciFinder-n is a service by the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) that provides a suite of databases from CAS, plus PubMed.
In SciFindern, you can search chemical substances, reactions, and more. SciFinder-n includes literature from other scientific disciplines such as biomedical science, engineering, materials science, and agricultural science.
You can also use SciFinder-n mobile with your preferred web browser on your phone or tablet.
In 2020, the Research Library transitioned from the old SciFinder interface to the new and improved SciFinder-n interface. For a full explanation of the changes made in the transition from SciFinder to SciFinder-n, watch this video walkthrough from CAS.
Email the Research Library's SciFinder-n team at scifinder@lanl.gov with any questions you have about the service.
Your SciFinder-n key contact is Alyssa Rozendaal.
