Here are the steps to creating your SciFinder account.
In order to access CAS SciFinder-n, you will first need to register with your netID. You must create the account from on campus, OR while using the Rutgers Libraries proxy link from off-campus, OR while using a Rutgers VPN.
Navigate to CAS SciFinder-n via the Libraries website: RUL home > Databases (under the Quicksearch box) > By title- C > CAS SciFinder-n. The direct link is:
https://www.libraries.rutgers.edu/databases/cas-scifinder-n
On this page, the first sentence says: New users, please create an account by registering with your Rutgers email address.Click on the word registering to be taken to the page where you may register for an account.
Once there, click next, accept the licensing agreement, and select Rutgers University New Brunswick for your campus. Click submit, and then fill out the registration using a valid Rutgers e-mail address. Create a username and password that are not your netID/password. You will receive instructions on how to complete your registration via e-mail. Follow the instructions and connect to CAS SciFinder-n by logging in with the username/password you created.
If you don't receive a confirmation email from CAS within 15 minutes of registering, check your junk folder. If the email isn't there, call the CAS Help Center at 1-800-753-4227 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight weekdays, and they will send you another email.
