Scirus is a search facility that searches only scientific information on the web and offers access to full text articles. It's search pool includes journals. It is being touted as a rival to Schoogle but we shall see. In some ways it seems surprising that it has taken this long for 'scholarly' information to be targeted by search engines on a scale this large. Even though the quality, or 'scholarliness' of some of the search results is questionable, such engines offer a challenge to libraries to assess if and how they can integrate them into their services. For the end user, well, too much access is never enough I say. Bring on the scholar-search wars!
