ChemPort Links to CDL Periodicals Database Provide Access to E-Journals

The California Digital Library (CDL) has completed programming with Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) to provide links to CDL's Periodicals Titles database from SciFinder Scholar via CAS's ChemPort connection. Clicking on the Your Library icon automatically launches a search in the Periodicals Titles database which then displays online and print holdings information resulting from the search. Instructions for accessing e-journals using this new feature are detailed below.

From the SciFinder Scholar search results page:
If there is a computer icon to the right of a citation, clicking on this icon will take you to the ChemPort page where you can click on the button for Full Text (to go straight to the article) or on the button for Your Library (to go to CDL's Periodicals Titles database and see UC online and print holdings).
If there is no computer icon to the right of the citation, click on the box in front of the item you want. Then click on the Full Text icon in the menu bar at top of page to open the ChemPort link. In ChemPort click on the Your Library button to go to CDL's Periodicals database and see UC online and print holdings. For example, this is how UC users can get links to full text for Wiley and Elsevier e-journals, since currently CAS does not include these vendors in their list of publishers.
If more than one item is checked before clicking on the Full Text icon, ChemPort lists the article titles. Click on the ChemPort full text icon after the article title of interest. Then click on Your Library button to go to CDL's Periodicals Titles database and see UC online and print holdings.
