SciFinder Scholar: Getting Started with SciFinder Scholar

IMPORTANT

You must create a personal account before using SciFinder Scholar. 

You cannot access the registration link from within SciFinder.

Create Your Account

  1. Follow this registration link to create your account. You can also find the registration link on our Databases page:
    Registration link is labeled "clicking here."
  2. Accept the license agreement.
     
  3. Use your @trincoll.edu email address to register. (Non-Trinity email addresses will not work.)
     
  4. Your username and password can be whatever you like, following these rules.
     
  5. You will receive a confirmation email at your trincoll.edu address. You must click the registration link in this email within 48 hours. Check your spam folder if you don't see it in your inbox!
     
  6. The confirmation link will take you to a page that asks you which version of SciFinder you want. Choose the top option (SciFinder), NOT the New SciFinder-n.
    SciFinder is the top link; The New SciFinder-n is the wrong link on the bottom
  7. You'll be taken to the sign-in page, where you can sign in with the username and password you created in Step 4.
