And, scholar.google.com is as good of a free, full text search tool as there is. Most journal sites give the googlebot open access to index their content, so it is a great way to find things instead of pubmed, which only searches abstracts. That's called web spamming or spamdexing via cloaking. I find it incredibly frustrating because they point you to what you want, but then you're often stuck. Do you really want to pay $30-$50 for a paper that may or may not have what you want? And Google is complicit in this, it's not just the publishers. They know it's advertising, so they charge them for it, but the results are not presented as paid ads. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spamdexing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spamdexing http://www.webreference.com/authoring/search_engines/cloaking/ http://www.webreference.com/authoring/search_engines/cloakin...
