BrainBurgers
Food for thought
Literature Search Engine
This site is dedicated to the serious
student or anyone with a research question. The research engine does
much of the time-consuming work for you. Much simpler navigation.
Better results. It leaves you with more time to struggle with the
research question itself. It requires that you setup your Firefox browser for tabbed browsing with a few clicks, just Go
to Tools>Options>Tabs> and Select "New pages should be opened
in a new tab" or see the power users link above. You can control the
number of tabs to open simultaneously before running a search.
How is this site different?
What
is a BrainBurger? It is a set of related tabs derived from a carefully
designed research engine. This website automatically searches databases
of articles published in the top journals in each area of science and
the humanities. It also searches a large number of other sites that the
casual researcher would miss.
You can also create your own plain BrainBurgers -- great for downloading multiple pdfs and other documents for simultaneous use.

Why the "Your brainburger is ready" button?
This
way your IP address (especially if you are in a Library) and or current
logins will be used to access whatever databases and resources you are
entitled to. Of course, you will also be seeing a lot of what you are
missing. Just click on an empty tab's X symbol and it's gone. You may
also see some results in which the queries were not submitted; this is
because of the way some sites are designed. Not all sites are equally
accessible--nor are they available all the time. Notice
