Retrieving CL Publications Quickly

There are plenty of journals, the library catalogue is huge, and time is short. In the 90ies one would have thought about a meta search engine. Now in 2008 we have Google doing it for us. How often did you google the title of a paper you just found cited in another paper? I did so quite often and it never gave me the desired paper as such. Until I created own Google Custom Search, Publications in Computational Linguistics.
This search engine looks at only a small but important part of all the web. I tried to include sites that host scientific papers as PDF. If you feel that an important site is missing, let me know. If you are using iGoogle, you can install this widget to have the specific search box on your start page.
The intended use of Publications in Computational Linguistics is that the user enters the full title of the desired paper into the query box. Give it a try right away:
For those recognizing that this search engine is an old story that has now been updated translated to English: of course, you are right.
Concerning other blogging activities right here in this blog: there are some things going on in the internal drafts section. I am yet undecided how formal all of this should be and how the targeted audience may be like. So stay tuned via RSS, it may be worth it.
