The UT Southwestern Special Collection Library and University Archive is proud to announce that they were awarded the SCAMeL Speedy Start Up Grant for phase one of the digitization of the University Lecture series. The award amounts to $4,660 and will cover the digitization of 30 VHS tapes as well as the closed captions for these tapes. The tapes chosen were from prominent scientist who work(ed) at the university as well as Nobel Laureates who were invited to speak. About half of the lecturers have since passed away so these lectures offer a true look into scientific history. We are excited to share these videos with the UTSW campus community and the larger region of scientists when they are completed.

New CAS SciFinder Log-In Policy
CAS implemented a new security measure that may affect how you access CAS SciFinder® and related applications.
The update impacts the active use of an ID from multiple devices/browsers at the same time. How it works:
User logs in with username and password.
- If the username is not signed in and active elsewhere, access proceeds as usual.
- If the username is already signed in and active on another device/browser:
- A verification code is sent to the email listed for the username.
- The user enters the code to complete the login process or closes the window and does not complete the login process.
- If the code is entered and the login is completed, the previous login for that same username will be signed out.
If you have any questions or need support, please contact the CAS Customer Center.
