David Stern's Advanced Searching and Navigation Tools Page

Advanced searching options:

• UCSD Database Advisor broadcast search engine

• Open Archives initiative - federated preprint searching
• OAISTER at Michigan
• NSDL portal (a digital library of exemplary science resource collections and services)
• CogPrints - a centralized approach to Cognitive Science Archive
• ARC - a centralized approach to search interdisciplinary Eprint Archives
• Citebase - experimental/demonstration of centralized searching (and ranking) of interdisciplinary Eprint Archives
• RePEc (Research Papers in Economics) - a collaborative effort of over 100 volunteers in 44 countries to enhance the dissemination of research in economics. The heart of the project is a decentralized database of working papers, journal articles and software components.
• CiteSeer - sophisticated links to computer science preprints
• EPRINT Network search engine to cross-search 7,000 preprint sites
• GreyLit Network - over 100,000 recent scientific and technical reports by the US Department of Energy, the Department of Defense, the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
• UIUC Engineering, Physics, Computer Science collection
• CrossRef Search - free, full-text interpublisher searchability, a group of 45 journal publishers
• Google Scholar - searches metadata across major journals
• Canary database - pre-processing of metadata allows for faceted navigation

explanation of linking techniques

• SFX on-the-fly linking Herbert Van de Sompel
• SFX slides - from UIUC presentation site

Integrated systems:

• FEDORA - Open-Source Digital Repository Management System (a clean and modular separation of data, interfaces, and mechanisms (i.e., executable programs))
