Now available, Scifinder Scholar Web version. 

Please email ngrant@uow.edu.au for registration details. The link previously here has been removed temporarily. Please accept our apologies

Note: Web version uses secure http. This can cause security certificate warnings when using IE because the University's generic security certificate can appear as a mismatch with the EZproxy server. It is OK to use the link that states "Continue to this website (not recommended)." 

Users who are using an IE browser will be able to get ready access if they uncheck the option to "Warn about certificate address mismatch". This warning is designed to alert users that the security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website’s address. In this instance, it is because the University uses generic security certificates so they do not exactly match the servers the traffic is coming from and so cause the error message.  Go into: Tools->Internet Options->Advanced->”Warn about certificate address mismatch” uncheck the box and restart your browser. You might like to revert to having the warning once you have finished using Scifinder Scholar.

When using reaction or substance search problems will be encountered if you do not have the Java 6 installed.  More information about browsers and Java requirements

Preferred browser Internet Explorer v. 5.5+, Firefox (Windows) and Safari (Macintosh).

The site uses secure http. The certificate on the Library's EZproxy server can cause an error. If you are warned about a security error and recommended not to proceed it is OK to do so in this instance. It is possible with IE browsers to turn off the warning about certificate mismatches but it can be a valid warning, so take this option with care.
