GEEK: Google Announces Tool for Scholars

With all of its innovations, Google has come up with yet another. It will now allow users to search scholarly research, separating it from the other fluff on the web.

But will this include scholarly journals as well? Either way, long gone are the days of the card catalog and the encylopedia. This is a godsend to all of us college students who have 10+ page papers to whip together.

It will also allow scholars who are published to get their research out to more who are interested in a certain topic. However, it might make citation even more of a bitch than it already is.

Now I can't wait to write a paper! This would have been great last fall semester... Try it!

♥ google ♥ indeed...

citeseer is such a pain...

Nice. Would've made my life a lot easier over the last three months.

I like my college's system that has a list of almost every scientific journal, book or paper ever written. All you have to do is type in a topic such as "The application of Theoretical Ecology to Behavoral Ecology", and it will list all the material available.

Actually grr it seems to be all that behind-the-firewall ingenta and blackwell and million-dollar-a-year subscription-only journal stuff.

Boo for being a loser who is not in college.

Feh.

i really do loove google

ahhh...... i can't even describe how cool this is....

*pees self with excitement*

Edited to add a bunch more after actually doing searches relevant to some papers I'm working on!

This is wonderful.

Thank. God.

Best Google service yet.

Well, that just cinches it. Google, thou art god...

Should make my job easier.

i am very excited

Oh god, forget five years ago, I needed this last week, when I was doing a quick 1000-worder on message boards, and couldn't find a citable source to save my life. I search now, and there's about 500 relevant results. Of course, my paper's already turned in.

Nonetheless, Google

Can I assume that dumbasses like m'self are allowed to use it too?

i for one welcome our new google overlords

hahah google was barely google 5 years ago!

I hope Google has armed guards because if it breaks the internet will be fuxored. At least, it will be for me.

This is the coolest thing ever! I'm biased, but only because i'm in Grad School, working on my MLS and am in the process of writing a paper on Library Technical services. The best prt? It ranks papers by citation! It's like an instant bibliography! Wow. i just had a Library flavored geekasm.
