Scholarly Web Searching: Google Scholar and Scirus

Greg Notess puts them head to head...
Despite all the limitations and problems, both offer some unique reasons to use them beyond just watching their future development. For a quick, broad, multidisciplinary search on a very narrow, specific topic, either Scholar or Scirus can give a good start. For citation verification, both can help find erroneous as well as correct citation information. The Cited By links at Google Scholar can be a useful adjunct to the more comprehensive citation tracking from citation indexes via ISI's Web of Science (or can function as a partial replacement for those without access).

    Can anyone tell me how often Google Scholar updates (now or when they finally get past the beta version)? I have noticed that there do not appear to be any new citations when searching on specific authors for three to four months.

  2. Greg's final words: "Both Scholar and Scirus have potential for information professionals and end users. At this point, each covers a certain segment of scholarly material, but plenty of problems remain. Other search tools continue to serve the scholarly community better. [emphasis added]

    For those keeping score:
    Libraries 4
    Google Scholar 0

    Google 'sandboxing' sites- bloggers
    Two recent blogs seem to put rumors to rest about whether Google uses a "sandbox" on some new Web sites in an attempt to filter out sites that might be fake or spam.
    Here I am ... blog surfing again. I came here not even knowing for sure what I would find. Ok, I'll admit it... I like your blog. So, if you want to, come and check out my site Google ... pretty much google related stuff.
