Abstract: The article reports on WorldWideScience.org (WWS), a global Internet portal that searches only nationally sponsored science websites in more than 71 countries all at the same time. National Agricultural Library deputy director Eleanor Frierson says WWS spares the user the trouble of wading through unscientific web pages. To access deep web sites, WWW automatically converts a search request into the query style affiliated websites need. WWS then makes a single list of hits, ranked by relevance.
