Digital library/search engine to help scholars

A new digital library and search engine created by Penn State researchers now holds more than 1 million journal articles and other scholarly works that can be easily accessed by anyone.

CiteSeerX, (http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu), based in Penn State’s College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST), is designed to enhance the dissemination of scientific literature by making papers and other documents easier to locate online. The library provides resources such as algorithms, data, metadata, services, techniques and software that are transferable other digital libraries — supplying users with more than just an index of search results. The newest version, releases in early 2009, added the capability to search tables.
