Stand on the Shoulders of Giants

That's the tagline for Google's newest search engine, Google Scholar. With Google Scholar you search only scholarly literature such as technical reports, theses and abstracts. Although it is still in its beta version, it looks promising. I've been having fun looking up people I know -- I know, I'm a dork. What I think is really cool though is that if you come up with a book you can click on the link next to it that says Library Search and that will take you to WorldCat results for that book. Cool, right? I know, I know. I'm a big dork.

Google says this "is one of the ways in which we are giving back to the research community." Check it out when you have the chance.
