Science and Academic search engines

Science and Academic

(Scholarly Paper search engines now have their own page)
ScienceResearch.com — Searchable access to scientific journals and databases.
Academic Index – Main search is a filtered Google search aimed at high authority rank sites, mainly .edu and .gov which filters a great deal out. Second search ties into deep web academic and non-academic databases skewed to librarians and educators.
Science.gov — Gateway to  science info provided by US government agencies.
VideoLectures.net –  Phenomenal video lecture coverage from high authority rank sources.  A great go-to place to find peer-reviewed, conference presented, in depth coverage of a topic at a conference. A nice bonus, is the presentation slides are shown separately, and you can jump to slides of interest to you. Heavily technology based, and 66% is in English. Most lectures 45 minutes or longer.
WebCASPAR — A horrible interface to an alleged wealth of statistical info on science and engineering. I found the site slow, cludgy and designed around 1965 run off of candle power.  From their website:”The WebCASPAR database provides easy access to a large body of statistical data resources for science and engineering (S&E) at U.S. academic institutions. WebCASPAR emphasizes S&E, but its data resources also provide information on non-S&E fields and higher education in general. ”
The Complete Work of Charles Darwin — Charles Darwin’s published works,  search-able and available online. He’s still old and his works still ramble. Scanning didn’t help him much.
