WorldWideScience–Search the Deep Web for Science Articles
Read/Write Web is reporting on a search engine I hadn’t heard of before: WorldWideScience.
WorldWideScience is a science portal developed and maintained by the Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI), an element of the Office of Science within the U.S. Department of Energy. The WorldWideScience Alliance, a partnership consisting of participating member countries provides the governance structure for the WorldWideScience.org portal.
When it debuted back in June 2007, it linked to 12 databases from 10 countries. Today, the portal links to 32 national, scientific databases and portals from 44 different countries.
I only ran a couple of searches, but it looks like this could be a good compliment to Google Scholar for those desperation science searches.
