Scitopia.org, the free, federated search portal created by leading science and technology societies, removed its beta label today, marking the official launch of its service. The scitopia.org beta was opened in June, allowing users to test the site. During that time, libraries around the world - including the Library of Congress, Stanford University, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and libraries in Australia, Ireland and Italy - have included links to scitopia.org from their web sites so patrons could use the service during its development....The scitopia.org interface, developed by Deep Web Technologies, includes both simple and advanced search options, which allow users to find articles by title or author name, or conduct a keyword search. For example, a simple search on the 2007 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry -- Gerhard Ertl - quickly returns results from American Physics Society, SPIE, and ECS that include each article's title, his co-authors, source, and in most cases an excerpt of text from the abstract. Scitopia.org also allows users to mark or email article records for future reference.
