Science.gov Celebrates 5th Anniversary
Making Science More Accessible and Useful
Oak Ridge, TN---The science gateway that makes science information more accessible and useful to researchers, teachers, and learners wherever they are located commemorated its 5th Anniversary today.
"Science.gov has made the nation's research and development easier to find and more useful and fun to explore," said Eleanor Frierson, Deputy Director of the National Agricultural Library and co-chair of the Science.gov Alliance, the interagency group that created Science.gov.
Founded December 5, 2002, in response to the profound effect of the World Wide Web on science communications, Science.gov (www.science.gov) connected citizens to science as never before. Today, Science.gov Version 4.0 is available and searches more than 50 million pages of science information from thousands of Web sites as well as from deep Web databases inaccessible by Google and other popular search engines.
