Google Scholar

11.29.2004

Google's academic search engine — Google Scholar — finally launched in beta (hat tip, MB). Here's the engine's FAQ. It's basically a Google (free) version of LexisNexis (not free); you can search for online peer-review, academic journals by key word, or specific author/article. It even includes articles offline that're referenced in other journal articles. Bottom line? An awesome resource.

Amazingly, a search for "author:centellas,m" lists two of my conference papers.

If you wanna keep up w/ Google's innovations, here's Google's blog.

I am also excited about this new addition to the Google family. I have not had a chance to try it yet. I do hope, however, it is, as you say, a more or less, free version of Lexis-Nexis. That would be really nice.
