Google Debuts Scholarly Research

Google has publicly unveiled Scholar, a free beta service for academic research. Scholar pulls up relevant information from a combination of sources such as peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts, and technical reports.

When aggregating results, the Scholar search engine takes into account the full text of articles, author, publication, and frequency of citation in academic research.

So very cool. Good thing I just happened to have a Individual Difference in Personality research paper coming up next week.  tongue laugh Also, good thing I have access to these journals through the Vassar library. This is a nice service for finding the articles, but it still requires you (our your institution) has a subscription to the magazine.
