Dear Professionals, The leading Search Engine - Google is doing a bit of service to the scholar community. Pls read the article appeared on NY Times.Kudos to the Indian who led the team http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/18/technology/18google.html SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17 - Google Inc. plans to announce on Thursday that it is adding a new search service aimed at scientists and academic researchers. Google Scholar, which was scheduled to go on-line Wednesday evening at scholar.google.com, is a result of the company's collaboration with a number of scientific and academic publishers and is intended as a first stop for researchers looking for scholarly literature like peer-reviewed papers, books, abstracts and technical reports. Google executives declined to say how many additional documents and books had been indexed and made searchable through the service. While the great majority of recent scholarly papers and periodicals are indexed on the Web, many have not been easily accessible to the public. The engineer who led the project, Anurag Acharya, said the company had received broad cooperation from academic, scientific and technical publishers like the Association of Computing Machinery, Nature, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and the On-line Computer Library Center. PS: Its live and pretty amazing. See the "about" section at http://www.scholar.google.com/ for some suggestions as to how to use it Thanks Sreeharsha BG Knowledge Management Group i2 Technologies software Pvt. Ltd. 5th Floor, Diamond District, Airport Road, Bangalore-8 PH: 25047319 Happiness is not the absence of problems but the ability to deal with them....:-)

Dear Mr Jha, You may find Picasa Photo Organisor at www.picasa.com useful for indexing and searching image/photo collections. It is free. Google uses it for indexing images. If you download and use it I would extensively, Iwould like to benefit by your feedback. I used it some months ago. It searches and indexes all images in all local drives/folders that are specified. As my collection is not picture specific I did not use it much.
