Scirus
Like Google Scholar but specific to science. As in Google
Scholar, you can go to Preferences to enable full text
connections to University of Queensland Library subscribed resources. (Note:
Not all UQL full text will be available from Scirus results displays. Some will
require access via the library network.)
WorldWideScience
Similar to Google Scholar but, unlike GS and Scirus
(above), based on multilateral partnerships to enable federated searching of
national and international scientific databases and portals, with approaching
100 participants. In
Advanced Search you can turn on
or off databases. In search results you can choose format tabs (papers, data,
multimedia), or topic and other options to refine results. Not all results are
open access resources and UQ Library subscriptions are not recognised, as they
may be in Google Scholar and Scirus, and as they will be in Web of Knowledge,
ASFA and other databases listed above.
