In the second December 2006 review posted on Peter’s Digital Reference Shelf, librarian and legendary reference reviewer, Dr. Peter Jacso, offers an updated review of Scirus.
Scirus has come a long way since my first review in 2001 on its debut. It grew from a 50-million item search engine to a 300-million item database with increasingly significant and expansive coverage of scholarly sources and powerful software. The enhancements in its content and software made it a pick a few years ago for the Peter’s Databases Picks and Pans column and the winner of several awards in the specialty search engine categories for good reasons.
