Chemical Abstracts & SciFinder

Started as Indexing and Abstracting service in 1907

Earlier known as Chemical Abstracts (CA) in its print version

An ideal example for Library Science students and professionals to study evolution of CA to current version SciFinder.

Page 4: Part of the Research Process for Universities Around the World.

Librarian Support

Many Libraries with print CA have taken active role in helping users in searching various indexes of CA and helped them to locate right information quickly.

This support and training still needed for SciFinder

Chemical Abstracts Service

Why SciFinder (CA) is different? CA needs more than 600 scientists

with PhDs with specialization in various fields to complete indexing

Why professional indexing is needed?

Try and search uses of below substance in full-text journals.

(1,2 diphenyl guanidine)
