Also consider this development:

DATABASES: FULLTEXT:
Elsevier Science Direct Indexed by Google and Google Scholar: Even More
News
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Net-Gold/message/19024>

Check all links for the complete picture.  Gary Price of Resourceshelf was
quick to point out to me that SCIRUS, an Elsevier search tool, has had
this content for a long time, I knew this, but how many people know about
Scirus as opposed to how many people know about Google.   Many people who
know about Google are unaware of other Google search tools.
