I have recently discovered (but not explored much), what seems to be a very powerful tool for finding scientific information.
http://scirus.com/
The catch is, much, or even maybe most of the search results sites are membership only access types.
I haven't explored the requirements or costs of these memberships.
Anybody out there, who is familar with "Scirus"?

Per Marks recent request:
I thought I had put more information in the previous message, than it turns out I did.
Scirus is a science only search engine. You can do searches for web information, for journal information, or for both.
The journal information links seem to all require a special (ie University) membership to access. I am told by a geology prof that much of that information is online only; is no longer available in print.
The web links are freely accessable.

John Dvorak, in his "Inside Track" column (PC Magazine, 10/15/02, p. 65), is heaping a lot of praise on the Library of Michigan's eLibrary.
The address is Welcome - Home - Michigan eLibrary at Michigan eLibrary, Library of Michigan .
I have not yet checked this site out, but I thought I'd bring it to the attention of all, while I had it in mind.

I just got a junk email on it earlier this week and did a test search. The links do look very relevant.

I found out about this in PC Magazine (Oct. 15, 2002 issue, p. 126).

Some great online references especially for evolution/biochemical evolution literature:
Pubmed
PubMed
Subscription probably required (free trials may be available)
Online Encyclopedia of Life Sciences:
Just a moment...
Web of Science (citation index)
Clarivate

Google is currently a hot topic for political reasons.
I, of course, use Google a lot. But occassionly I go to Elsevier | An Information Analytics Business

Re: Bump - Plug for scirus.com
When I can't get find a paper I'm looking for (for free) from Google, I usually use Google "Scholar": Google Scholar
Not sure how it compares to Scirus. I'll try and check into it later.

In the search engine list below, Search Engine Watch provides a guide to the major search engines of the web. Why are these considered to be "major" search engines? Because they are either well-known or well-used.
