format is compatible with EndNote, Reference Manager, and ProCite
programs.
5. Search result: the actual search result; this includes links to the full text
of the paper, link to search the web for that paper and potentially links
that allow you to search your library for access to the full text from their
subscription
6. Sort by options: allows you to sort the search results by relevance
(default), oldest or newest date, author of paper, journal, or
conference.
The best things about Academic search are:
~ a list of journals it searches (something Google Scholar sorely needs); still,
the list is too general (for example, IEEE Computer Society encompasses a
huge number of journals and publications):
~ the preview pane is a good idea-no need to open new windows.
~ the slider to view more or less information.
~ the ability to extract citations (if you need to cite the information, this is a big
benefit).
~ the "find it in a library near you" search: [worldcatlibraries keyword].
Academic search needs to improve:
~ lack of citation search (everyone seems to agree this is the biggest problem
that simply must be rectified).
~ no advanced search (may come later).
~ not enough content.
Edit Macros:
http://search.live.com/macros/default.aspx
This new feature allows users to "create their own search engine," so to speak. Of
course, you are not really making a new search engine. In fact, what you are really
doing with a basic macros' search is automatically generating a "site:" search. A
basic macros search for ["north korea" "nuclear test"] on CNN, Reuters, and USA
Today is equivalent to:
["north korea" "nuclear test" (site:www.cnn.com OR site:www.reuters.com OR
site:www.usatoday.com)]
The advantage of the macros is that they are much simpler to create, especially if
you want to search 30 sites, and you can easily save and retrieve your macros, but
you must sign in to Live.com in order to save and retrieve your macros.
