ScienceDirect Offers Web Research Guide

Via the November 16 edition of Tom Mighell's Internet Legal Research Weekly, we learn that ScienceDirect (a free site offering online access to 5,268,775 scientific articles from over 1800 journals) has published a Web Research Guide. The guide is designed "to help students, faculty members, authors and research scientists find the information they need on the Web." No mention is made of lawyers, but they did let me register anyway. Update: And did you know about scirus? I didn't.
