Google Scholar, A New Useful Resource

25 November 2004

Google has started a new service aimed specifically at the community of scholars in all disciplines. The new service is called Google Scholar, and enables you to search specifically for scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from all broad areas of research.

I tried a few searches on it, and I am very impressed by what I saw. For instance, when I tried to find some information on papers by Jan Bergstra dealing with hybrid systems, I used the query

author:bergstra hybrid systems

and received nine topical hits, plus citation information.

I also tried the query

author:aceto tropical

and received five t(r)opical hits.

The query

author:hjalmtysson

gave me an idea of the work of the Dean of my new school.

Finally, I always wanted to look at an epoch maching piece by Vannevar Bush entitled "As we may think". I typed

author:bush think

and found a PDF file available from the ACM portal as my first hit in 0.18 seconds.

I think I'll use this service for my literature searches, and I encourage all of you to try it!
