I already use SciFinder-n
I have never used SciFinder-n or SciFinder and need a new account
I have a SciFinder account, but I have not used SciFinder-n before
I'm having trouble accessing SciFinder-n. What is the problem?
1) Campus Affiliation
Only GSU Atlanta campus students and faculty have access to SciFinder-n. GSU Perimeter campus students/faculty and people not affiliated with GSU will not be able to access SciFinder-n either from their home campus or off-campus.
2) SciFinder-n Account
You must create a free SciFinder-n account with your GSU Atlanta campus email before you can log in to SciFinder-n. You must be either at a computer connected to the Atlanta campus network or be connected using the GSU VPN to do this initial setup.
3) Off-Campus Authorization
If you are accessing SciFinder-n from off-campus, try the following:
A) Attempt to access SciFinder-n through the "Log In" link above. External links that don't go through GSU authentication may not work.
B) Clear your internet browser history and try logging in again. Browser clearing instructions for: Chrome | Firefox | Safari | Edge
C) Check your internet browser version against SciFinder-n System Recommendations and Requirements. Update your browser or switch to a different one if needed.
D) Download and install the GSU Cisco AnyConnect VPN from the GSU Technology Software Download site. Install and login instructions are provided with the download. Try using the VPN to log in with your CampusID, then try to access SciFinder-n from this guide.
4) Website Maintenance
SciFinder-n requires occasional maintenance and updates. SciFinder Availability lists scheduled maintenance times. Updates are usually done on late weekend nights for user convenience.
