Scirus - science-specific search engine. http://www.scirus.com/
New to me was this search engine that focuses solely on sources of
scientific information and returns results either from qualified web
sites or from only scientific journals. It points to a different
strategy for finding learning resources - highly constrained and vetted
search catalogs that instead of relying on metadata simply use good
search engines on the already qualified catalog. Some might claim that
this falls into the same human scalability trap as Yahoo-style
directories, but in my mind it is actually the happy medium between
such directories and full-scale internet searching that has little or
no knowledge of the quality of the information and relies on
(falliable, vis a vis the 'pagerank blog effect')algorithmic techniques like 'pagerank' to calculate the relevancy of a resource... [EdTechPost]
