Comments: GOOGLE SCHOLAR.

The biggest problem I see is the mix of authors and titles in the same db. Who knew that there was a chemist named "Jurchen", or a rice variety named "Khazar". (Though actualy the second problem has nothing to do with the title-author mix).

I expect it to be fun, though. My self-Google was disappointing but not surprising.

I must've been making mistakes in formulating my requests. None of the searches return anything sufficient. I will have to recall my ancient researching skills and go to the physical art library instead, with cards and helpful bespectacled ladies.
Zizka, what - no Vespucci connection? it's a shame...
PS - and OT: John, have you tried that little archeological e-game? I thought it would please you, but may be not.

Google Scholar has thus far been a big disappointment. I'm trying to look up articles and keep getting nothing. I must be doing something wrong. Help
