Find Your Way With Three Search Engines

“I can't say I was ever lost, but I was bewildered once for three days.” -- Daniel Boone (American Explorer, frontiersman and legendary hero, 1734-1820)



With the bewildering array of search engines on the Web, where do you start?  When I begin a new research project, I begin with these three …

·         Google Scholar
·         Google Patents
·         NDLTD- Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (http://www.ndltd.org/)

This approach gives me an initial view of what’s out there in three important areas …

1.       Peer reviewed journal articles
2.       U.S. patents
3.       Theses and dissertations

Once I’ve browsed the results of searches in each category, I can move on to other search engines for more depth.

Here’s an example … using the key phrase π-complexation … with a few results from each search engine.

GOOGLE SCHOLAR … π-complexation
AJ Hernandez-Maldonado… - Industrial & engineering …, 2003 - ACS Publications
Fixed-bed adsorption using different π-complexation adsorbents for desulfurization of liquid fuels
was investigated. Cu(I)−Y (autoreduced Cu(II)−Y), Ag−Y, H−Y, and Na−Y zeolites were used
to separate low-concentration thiophene from mixtures including benzene and/or ...

RT Yang, A Takahashi… - Industrial & engineering …, 2001 - ACS Publications
CuY and AgY zeolites were studied as selective sorbents for the desulfurization of liquid
fuels. Thiophene and benzene were used as the model system, and vapor-phase isotherms
were measured. Compared to NaY, CuY and AgY adsorbed significantly larger amounts ...
