This workshop will get a beginner started using SciFinder. SciFinder, which is produced by Chemical Abstracts Services (CAS) is the most comprehensive database for the chemical literature. We will look at how to search by reference, substance, reaction, and the retrosynthesis search feature, and look at how to set up alerts to stay up to date on the literature. 

Our policy is that we do not record live workshops in order to encourage robust Q&A. However, you can always find the full workshop materials for all of our workshops at: https://library.virginia.edu/data/training/past-workshops which allows you to work through the material at your own pace. We also encourage you to reach out to the instructor at any time for a one-on-one consult, and for specific or general questions about any of the topics we cover.
