SciFinder Scholar License Agreement
You certify to the following before you use SciFinder Scholar:
1) I am a current faculty or administrative
staff member, or officially registered student of the University;
2) I will use SciFinder Scholar only for my own academic
research done in the course of pursuing my degree, or in
instructing my students, or, in the course of my own research
funded by the government or a non-profit foundation and intended
for publication in the publicly available literature;
3) I will NOT use SciFinder Scholar for commercial research;
for example, research that is done 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;
4) I will use my search results in the ordinary course of
academic research and acknowledge that I may store search
results in electronic form for the duration of research projects,
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 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 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 THE UNIVERSITY
OR TO THIRD PARTIES.
5) I acknowledge that the 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.
6) I will contact the University's Key Contact with any questions
related to the use of SciFinder Scholar.
