Scirus
|
| If you need a break from some intensive business, psychology, IT or legal research, how about investigating scientific information? Billing itself as "the most comprehensive science-specific search engine on the Internet." Scirus focuses only on webpages containing scientific content. In searching more than 250 million science-related pages, it retrieves the latest reports, peer-reviewed articles, patents, pre-prints and journals that they claim other search engines miss. Be sure to review on the "about us" page the range of scientific content Scirus covers and how to pinpoint the scientific information you are seeking. |
| Please note that EBSCO's Academic Search Elite and Proquest's Research Library -- databases available via the University Library -- will include many scientific articles. If you need search assistance, give us a call at the Reference Desk at 415-442-7244. Scirus does search for articles in databases, where the full-text will not be available to you, (unless you or your institution subscribe separately) but an abstract or other summary may be present. |
