DATABASES:  Elsevier Science Direct Indexed by Google and Google Scholar: GOOGLE: Science Directly into Google
I went to Google Scholar and searched on the first thing that came to mind in this context, Elsevier. Of course with that search, many entries will be for book citations as Elsevier is among other things a book publisher. Here is a sample of the search results. Spot tests in organic analysis - all 2 versions F Feigl - 1966 - elsevier.com Go to Elsevier home page. ...

This is the citation that results from Elsevier's Journal The Cell and from Science Direct, a database that I believe libraries pay five to seven digits a year in price depending on size of institution and content subscribed to. You have requested access to the following article: The Hallmarks of Cancer. Cell, Volume 100, Issue 1, Pages 57-70 D. Hanahan, R. Weinberg To view this article, please choose one of your preferred Elsevier websites: The real surprise to innocent me is that the full text of the article was reached from two links below the citation, one being The Cell journal and the other being from within the database Science Direct. Science Direct <http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi =B6WSN-4195FC1-5&_user=10&_coverDate=01%2F07%2F2000& amp;_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&view= c&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0& _userid=10&md5=632bed83f17987bc237bc6a6253faeb7> A shorter URL for the above link: <http://tinyurl.com/2rzow3> The other being The Cell <http://tinyurl.com/2rzow3> These may be the same link in reality, but they are listed seperately. This will open up a tremendous body of literature to the public, depending upon how extensive the content from Elsevier from Science Direct constitutes that is available as full text journal articles. This is certainly an important development if the content is substantial that involves such full text access. There may also be other reasons for specific Elsevier journals to be full text as well as searchable via Google Scholar and Google such as the expenditure of government funding on the research an article reports, this must also be kept in mind.   ~ David Dillard Temple University (215) 204 - 4584 jwne@temple.edu

LOCKSS PROGRAM
"...let us save what remains: not by vaults and locks which fence them from the public eye and use in consigning them to the waste of time, but by such a multiplication of copies, as shall place them beyond the reach of accident." Jefferson, Thomas. [1791] 1984. Thomas Jefferson to Ebenezer Hazard, Philadelphia, February 18, 1791.

CLOCKSS PROJECT- Controlled Lots Of Copies Keep Stuff Safe

CLOCKSS Project (1/23/06) A group of publishers, librarians, and learned societies have launched a community initiative employing the LOCKSS technology to support a large dark archive that serves as a failsafe repository for published scholarly content. Controlled LOCKSS (CLOCKSS), aims to provide assurance to the research community that a disaster, which would prevent the delivery of content, will not obstruct access to journal content. CLOCKSS content or the orphaned content would only become available after a trigger event, such as the material was no longer available from the publisher. In these situations, a joint advisory board, representing societies, publishers and libraries, will begin the process to determine if the content is orphaned and whether it should be made publicly available.

The Dewey Decimal system, is used by many public libraries.  The college library uses the Library of Congress classification system. Students at the K-12 level need to cope with research library collections at colleges, online databases, the core bibliographic research tools in academic libraries, and online journal aggregation tools that contain collections of full text journals and are also searchable like Journals @ OVID, JSTOR, MUSE, Lexis-Nexis, Literature Online, and so forth.

EBSCO, one database provider even has an elementary level, middle school level and high school level database set for student use that many public libraries subscribe to.

The InvisibleWeb consists of searchable information resources whose contents cannot be indexed by traditional search engines. These include databases, archived material, and interactive tools such as calculators and dictionaries. Since these resources are embedded within thousands of individual Web sites, they are not “visible” to the search engines of today. Even if a site containing a database is retrieved, the search engine is unlikely to take you to the database itself, requiring you to surf the site to find it. Beyond the scope of even the most popular search engines, this incredible wealth of information has been largely unexplored, until now.

The Collection of Special Search Engines (and some databases) especially discipline-specific, subject-specific and topic-specific search engines and collections of national, regional and local search engines.

Lancet calls for publisher to cut ties with international arms trade Richard Norton-Taylor September 9, 2005 The Guardian
Editors of the Lancet, one of the world's foremost medical journals,  have demanded that its corporate owner stop promoting the international arms trade.
The journal's publisher is Reed Elsevier, the multinational behind an  arms fair opening in London next week. The company is one of the world's biggest medical publishers and the owner of Spearhead, which organises some of the world's biggest arms exhibitions.
Opposition to Reed Elsevier's involvement in the arms trade is voiced inan editorial and in a letter from doctors and public health  professionals in the Lancet published today.<snip>
