SciFinder @ Caltech: Registration

You must have a valid access.caltech account in order to register for a SciFinder account.

You cannot use a login/password from a previous institution - it will not work on Caltech's IP range. You must register for a new account with your @caltech.edu email address.

Visit this page to begin the registration process. After entering your proxy credentials, follow the instructions on the page.

If you've registered using your Caltech credentials, click the link to the left to log into SciFinder.

If you are a current Caltech student, faculty, or staff member, and you have a problem registering for SciFinder access, contact dtwrub AT caltech.edu for assistance.

Use of SciFinder is restricted to currently enrolled Caltech students and formally affiliated Caltech faculty and staff. There is no provision in the CAS license for use by the public, including alumni.

You must agree to the following usage guidelines before using SciFinder. Failure to adhere to them will result in suspension of your account by CAS.
