Cara Branigan, New search service creates 'Google for scholars', eSchool News, July 1, 2004. Excerpt: "Internet searches might become faster and more fruitful for students, scholars, and other academics as early as this year, thanks to a new pilot program being developed as a free service spearheaded by Google, the world's leading internet search engine. The initiative, called CrossRef Search, combines Google's popular search technology with the archives of up to 300 leading scholarly publications, allowing researchers to separate Google's typical search results from high-quality, peer-reviewed, scholarly content."

free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
