You must create an account to access SciFinderⁿ by following the on-screen steps.

Note that you will need to use your @hamline.edu email to set up your SciFinderⁿ account. You need to do this either on-campus or by following our special link:

Create your CAS SciFinderⁿ account

 After you have a SciFinderⁿ account:

Login to CAS SciFinderⁿ

^{You may have to first sign into the Bush Library Off-Campus Access using your Hamline username (not email)  and password, and then sign into SciFinder-n.}

If you do not use your SciFinderⁿ account regularly, ACS will "archive" your account after a long period of inactivity. Access will be curtailed and attempts to reset your SciFinderⁿ password will not work until a librarian contacts ACS on your behalf.

Contact a librarian if you think your account has been inadvertently archived.

Tip: login to your CAS SciFinderⁿ account at least yearly to maintain your active account.

If the links for CAS SciFinderⁿ don't work above, e.g. if you receive a 

HTTP ERROR 413

or some other error, you can try going directly to SciFinderⁿ to sign in.

Note that this might not work off-campus.

Another option is to try starting a browser "New Incognito Window" or "New InPrivate window" and then again try accessing SciFinderⁿ through the Off-Campus login.

Known Issue

When off-campus, signing out from SciFinderⁿ may result in a HTTP ERROR 400. Clicking the "Reload" button doesn't resolve the issue.

Partial Solution: Ignore the error. Type in a new URL in the browser address bar and go to a different webpage, or use your browser back button to return to a different website.
