Google Scholar

Google has a new tool, Google Scholar, which searches academic papers. So far seems to be only the sciences. But it's still fun looking for my scientist friends on it.

thank you from me and my gals. given that i work for an academic publisher this tool could be really handy for us. but someone in a different department thought she would be super cool and not tell anyone about it until, oh, ten minutes ago (apparently, some magazine wants a quote from her). since i had forwarded your generously provided link, oh, like a couple hours ago, we folks just were like "yeah, we know." it was like, SNAP, thunder stolen! we just were gloating about it again.

so thanks!

It also handles business school papers. The first thing G did this morning was Google herself on it.
