Liebe Inetbibler,

eine Weiterleitung aus dem "SearchDay-Newsletter" über Neuerungen in der
wissenschaftlichen Suchmaschine Scirus möchte ich Ihnen nicht
vorenthalten.
Scirus enthält jetzt 107 Millionen (meist) wissenschaftliche Webseiten,
u.a. können jetzt auch die NASA Reports im Volltext durchsucht und
aufgerufen werden.
Weitere Informationen zu Scirus finden Sie im Suchdienste-Kompass der UB
Bielefeld unter:

+ Science Search Engine Scirus Gets New Features

Elsevier Science and Fast Search & Transfer have launched a new release
of
Scirus, a science-specific Web search engine that won Search Engine
Watch's Best Specialty Search Engine Award in 2001.

The new version adds more subject-specific content and features like
expanded information types, dynamic teasers which highlight the search
terms within the search result list, and improved relevance ranking.

"As we continue to examine ways to improve the search service for
scientists, we have executed a study amongst the target audience to find
out what they find most important for a dedicated science search
engine,"
said Femke Markus, Product Manager of Scirus.

The index now contains over 107 million science specific pages, with new
full-text additions like NASA reports, CogPrints pre- and postprints,
and
preprints from the Chemistry and Mathematics Preprint Servers. According
to the press release, Scirus now offers over 17 million proprietary
records that cannot be found using generic search engines.

The new information types search limiters are "company homepages" and
"preprints." The preprints filter looks particularly useful, allowing
searchers to access papers that are available before the peer-review
process has been completed.

As part of this new release, Scirus now includes a news feed with the
latest science headlines provided by the Lexis Nexis Web Publisher News
Database. This service provides access to newspapers, trade journals,
reference directories, legal and legislative sources, newswires and
transcripts from over 2,700 sources around the world.
