Windows Academic Search
wins hearts of publishers
Kim Thomas
Microsoft's new rival to Google Scholar, Windows Live Academic Search (WLAS), has been warmly welcomed by the information industry.
Launched with the co-operation of linking specialist CrossRef, and several major academic publishers, WLAS enables users to search content from 4,300 journals. Currently in beta format, WLAS links to information on computer science, electrical engineering and physics. The service is currently free, but a Microsoft spokesperson said: "We may implement advertisements."
The pilot will run for a year, said Marika Westra, an Elsevier company spokesperson. Elsevier is allowing access to 400 journals for the project. "The objective is to see how a web search engine like this can drive people to our material," she said.
