WilsonWeb Databases Now Feature Automatic Link to Scirus Search

New York, New York, February 2, 2005
Scirus, a major science-specific web search engine, now joins the multitude of sources accessible via WilsonWeb, H.W. Wilson today announced. With WilsonWeb's WilsonLink feature, customers can click from article citations to an automatic Scirus search of the author's name covering over 167 million science-specific web pages-finding additional articles by the author, biographical or contact data, and related information. The Scirus search filters out non-scientific sites, locating peer-reviewed articles (including PDF and PostScript files often invisible to other search engines), and tapping the world's largest databases of scientific, technical and medical journals, including access-controlled sites that other search engines don't index.

Scirus also goes deeper than the first two levels of a web site, retrieving more relevant information than the typical web search. It was recognized by the Search Engine Watch Awards as "Best Specialty Search Engine" in 2001 and 2002. More information on Scirus is available at www.scirus.com.

The new Scirus link is especially practical for users of WilsonWeb science databases: the new Science Full Text Select, and Applied Science & Technology Full Text, General Science Full Text, Biological & Agricultural Index Plus, OmniFile and others. (The new Science Full Text Select-a 100% full-text database-delivers articles cover to cover from 320 select periodicals.)

Free 30-day WilsonWeb trials are available to libraries and members of the working press. For more on WilsonWeb science databases, visit www.hwwilson.com.
