Here they Come Again? Microsoft Research Launches Academic Search Database (Beta), ResourceShelf (Oct 26)
Hard to believe but Microsoft (this time Microsoft Research) is providing a beta Academic search of journals, papers, conferences. Microsoft closed Academic Live a couple of years ago. Now there is this new collection of 3.3 million academic papers in computer science.

It would be nice to have more information - about coverage, sources, future - but for now we'll just enjoy it. There is a basic "advanced search."
Welcome back Microsoft.
