Latest Googlerific Trick: Finding Scholarly Literature Online

As part of its relentless quest for world domination, Google has launched Google Scholar in beta. Google has posted an FAQ page giving some of the details. But the basic idea is this: You enter the name of an author, or a search term, and Google provides links to published scholarly literature that satisfies the search criteria. In some cases, the text of the article is available for free. In others, only the abstract is published on the web. In still other cases, information is provided on how to download the text for a fee. The database appears to include PubMed entries. Litigators and experts alike will want to put a link on their desktops.
