Mind, it's far from a panacea. It's remarkably expensive (almost $300/year), necessarily limited in scope (only four topic areas available at initial rollout), and currently appears to be slashdotted all to hell. (Actually, I have a nasty suspicion that some geek got offended at the idea of such an anti-"democratic" move, and has DDoD'ed them, but we'll see.) I suspect that it's never going to be all that much better than a good printed bibliography, of which there are many. But at least in theory this seems like a potentially useful new service, at least to those doing serious research in fields that are covered by it...
