Posted in JURN's Google watch
Google’s Custom Search blog summarises design-oriented changes to the Google Custom Search service. Along with themes for formatting search results, one of the most interesting is auto-reformatting when Google detects you’re on a mobile device.

Posted in Academic search, Spotted in the news
DeepDyve has announced their interesting pay-per-view so-called “rental” model of access to academic papers in… “scientific, technical and medical research”. I’ll be curious to see if it works financially. Looking at the range of journals indexed shows there are small scattering of arts and humanities titles, such as Critical Studies in Media Communication and Feminist Media Studies, although in both cases only articles from 2008 are available.
Annoying, and misleadingly, most DeepDyve articles are flagged as…
…when all you can actually access is a short abstract, rather than the full-text article.
