SciFinder Scholar Agreement Page
From SubjectGuides
Before going to the SciFinder Scholar Download Page to download SciFinder Scholar software, you must carefully read and agree to follow the Chemical Abstracts Service User Agreement.
- I am a current faculty or administrative staff member, or officially registered student of Auburn University.
- I will use SciFinder Scholar only for my own academic research done in the course of pursing my degree, or in instructing my students, or, in the course of my own research funded by the government, Auburn University, a research grant, or a non-profit foundation and intended for publication in the publicly available literature.
- I will NOT use SciFinder Scholar for commercial research For example, research that is down under a funding or consultant contract where the results are delivered to a for-profit organization, or for research that involves patentability searching. If I require SciFinder for commercial purposes, I will have the search done using a commercial account by contacting the librarian responsible for chemistry searches on campus, by contacting CAS and having them perform a search for me, or by acquiring and using the commercial SciFinder product.
- I will use my search results in the ordinary course of academic research and acknowledge that I may store search results in electronic form, provided that at any one time, I store no more than 5,000 records. I may share search results in a limited, reasonable way with other Auburn University students or faculty working on the same project, but I will not aggregate my electronic search results with those of anyone else. I will delete stored records when I no longer need them for the relevant research project, or after the completion of my degree program, whichever occurs first. If I need to use search results beyond what is described here, I will contact my Auburn University Key Contact to discuss and to obtain CAS permission. I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I AM NOT PERMITTED TO DISTRIBUTE ANY CAS DATA OR SCIFINDER SCHOLAR, FOR COMMERCIAL GAIN OR OTHERWISE, OUTSIDE AUBURN OR TO THIRD PARTIES.
- I acknowledge that Auburn University has entered into a license agreement with CAS to provide me with access to SciFinder Scholar, and that violation of the license by any user could result in a termination of the license for all users.
- I will contact Auburn University's Key Contact with any questions related to the use of SciFinder Scholar.
