Weston, Wil.  "[28]Access to Scientific Literature"  [29]Nature 20(19) (7

      - Wil Weston, a librarian at the University of New Orleans, Earl K. 
Long Library, reinforces what all librarians already know. The internet is 
no substitute for libraries, and concomitantly, the guidance to research 
that librarians provide. Presently only 8% of journals and scarcely a 
fraction of books are accessible via the World Wide Web. Not only are 
search engines selective as to what to include, but also are biased. Search 
engines promote those sites which pay a listing fee, thereby ensuring these 
display early and prominently in retrieved site listings. This would be 
analogous to librarians offering their clients primarily those books for 
which publishers had paid a fee for precedence ranking. While this article 
doesn't present anything new for librarians, it is nevertheless a concise 
recap for non-librarians about the state of web research, and the 
qualitative advantage offered by libraries. Interesting citations included 
are: Lebedev, Alexander Moscow State University, Best search engines for 
finding scientific information in the Web, Version: August 9, 1996.
