RE: No fault non-archiving.

Stevan,

Paracite seems to be a very useful front end to Google Scholar-, 
and now that I see how well it works, I will certainly use it.

But, Stevan, are you prepared to say that GS (and thus Paracite) 
links to everything that is available OA?  If so, I'd like to see 
the data that justifies your conclusion. If not , what do you 
recommend as supplementing it--and if you've found any two or 
three services that between them do link to all the OA, I'd like 
to see that data-- not what they ideally ought to find, but what 
they do find.

This is not meant as a criticism of any of the excellent services 
and indexes from various sources--long may they flourish, and 
long may they improve the standard isn't perfection, but rather 
the standard reached by the commercial services covering the 
concentional literature. .

Through google, or paracite or oaister or google scholar or 
scirus or scopus or...
