Google Searches the US Government

Someone mentioned on twitter this morning how much they loved the Google Uncle Sam search. Intrigued I did a little investigating. Turns out the advanced search feature has been around for at least a decade. The advantage is that it searches .gov and .mil domains which may only be used by the US government.

PubMed

*Edit* PubMed seems to be working again, although very slowly. (edited 09-11-04 @ 10:28 am)

Due to a problem in the NLM computer room, PubMed is currently down. Hopefully the issue will be resolved quickly.

LSUHSC New Orleans users still have access to Medline via EBSCOhost or Ovid.
