It is designed to provide scholars and researchers with useful on-line source information about scholarly works. Most search engines and indexes provide little, if any, information about an author, and they offer no concise source citations for easy bibliographic reference. Users are left with search results that are often obscured commercial and other trivial information. All Academic combines a database of on-line scholarly works with the flexibility of broad internet searches. The search index is designed to provide scholars and researchers with a refined set of results useful for academic pursuits.
Links are direct from source citations to scholarly publications.
Links to commercial and fee based scholarly publications are not included in this database. This site is an extensive index of web sites. The terms used in the index were assigned by staff of the O'Keefe Library at St. Ambrose University. This is a subject guide of internet sites chosen by staff working for Encyclopedia Britannica. All items are selected, evaluated, catalogued and described.
