Google Teams Up with 17 Colleges to Test Searches of Scholarly Materials By Jeffrey R. Young
http://chroni cle.com/free/2004/04/2004040901n.htm

Google, the popular search engine, has teamed up with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and 16 other universities around the world to provide a way to search the institutions' collections of scholarly papers, according to university officials. A pilot test of the project is just getting under way. If all goes as planned, the search feature could appear on Google in a few months, said MacKenzie Smith, associate director of technology for MIT's libraries. She said the search would probably be an option on Google's advanced-search page. This has been added to Deep Web Research Subject Tracer™ Information Blog and will be added to Academic Resources 2004 Internet MiniGuide.

Spent a couple hours driving and walking around parts of the city. Oh, and we ran into Miguel in the Hotel lobby before heading out. I've taken some pictures that I haven't had a chance to post--I took a 1.5 hour nap instead. Rasmus has...

Microsoft has been making changes to its second service pack for Windows XP in light of customer feedback. Release Candidate 2 (RC2) of the service pack was officially released on 15 June and feedback from beta testers has resulted in changes both to the user interface and to functionality.

Oliver Wendell Jones writes "In Japan, they are now looking at blaming the regular use of the internet for the recent death of a student, slain by another student, reportedly for retaliation for the victim saying bad things about the attacker's wardrobe on her website." When you can't blame someone else, I guess you have to look for something else to blame. Personal responsibility is so last millennium.
