New google tool

Google Scholar enables you to search specifically for scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from all broad areas of research. Use Google Scholar to find articles from a wide variety of academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories and universities, as well as scholarly articles available across the web.

Please note that it is still in Beta before anyone posts to say that it gave wrong info or took 3 days to reply ;) Well someone might find it handy :)

If that's the case then when 30 pupils hand in exactly the same information it won't be hard to spot ;)

Looks very useful, it may even be used insted of a normal google search.
Especially as it cuts out the crappy selling sites etc.

Also, the desktop search is very good so have installed that, also the Gmail notifier now works via port 80 from behind my company firewall.

I've gone all Googly.... :D

I often found the American stuff more helpful than British/European. The Americans seem to have a better attitude to learning - more open and happy to share materials. They also let students do things that would never be allowed over here, such as installing and configuring Apache.

Oh well - I've sent it to both the students - I'm sure they will let me know how they get on with it! :)
