: I wish I could answer "yes" to your question. A way to do a comprehensive
: abstract search on the Internet would be wonderful, but there isn't any
: way to do that now (via publically available services, anyway). Some
: journals are coming online, mostly with tables of contents (some with
: abstracts), but the situation is very disorganized. Even with many
: journals online, someone still needs to index them all in order to allow
: searches.
All of the above is depressingly true. However, I have started a collection
of abstract searching services and other bio-periodical resources on the
net at:
