Reaxys (formerly CrossFire) Training in the Library

Wednesday, February 23
10:00-11:50 am
Information Commons Classrooms
MacKimmie Library Block (go up the escalator and turn right. The classrooms are at the back of the Block)
Please RSVP to Jennifer Lee, jelee@ucalgary.ca by Wednesday, February 16

The purpose of this training is to introduce users to the basic features of Reaxys. The objectives for the day are to take users through a reaction, substance, and citation query and to familiarize users with what the results windows look like for each case. We will run through exercises comprised of search scenario examples. Copies of the scenarios will be provided along with additional examples for users to try on their own time. The training will be an informal setting. Questions are welcome as we proceed. The goal is to provide end users with a solid foundation enabling them to incorporate Reaxys into their own research endeavors.

CrossFire - now Reaxys (and Web-enabled!)

CrossFire was discontinued as of December 31, 2010. The library has signed a license for Reaxys, its Web-equivalent. Reaxys can be accessed via: http://ezproxy.lib.ucalgary.ca:2048/login?url=https://www.reaxys.com/

Signing up for an account is optional, however, it allows one to change the default structure editor, save searches, and receive alerts. More information on Reaxys is available here (and more info to come.)
