Google scholar

[francis]

As if Google haven't launched enough recently! Google have just unveiled Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com), "a new search product aimed at helping users search scholarly literature such as technical reports, theses and abstracts" (link to news story (http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=internetNews&storyID=6848434)). Haven't given it a thorough go yet (but here's a search for "website architecture" (http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22website+architecture%22&hl=en&lr=)), but it looks like it could be useful (and there's a nice, lengthy about page (http://scholar.google.com/scholar/about.html) to go through).

What an amazing product. I wish they explained how they did it (arrangements with journal publishers must be part of it). Thank you for publishing the info on the forum.
