Institutional repositories of digital data at universities and other =0D
research institutions may now receive deeper, more thorough indexing and =
=0D full-text delivery through Elsevier?s free, sci-tech search engine,
Scirus (http://www.scirus.com). The Scirus engine already reaches
content at many institutional repositories, but those joining the new
Scirus Repository Search service will receive more extensive and
sophisticated indexing of a wider range of content. The repositories
will also have access to additional search capabilities on their own
Web sites at no cost. The first university to join the Scirus
Repository Search service is the University of Toronto?s T-Space
collection ( http://tspace.library.utoronto.ca). All of T-Space?s
digital files and data are available to the open Web.=0D
The new alternative formats for data will stretch beyond Scirus? current
non-HTML/XML formats, e.g., PDF, Postscript, PowerPoint, etc. However,
for now, Scirus will not offer special handling of images, programs,
or data sets beyond better metadata.
