It uses a Google custom search engine to cross-search resources found on sites such as Intute and DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) as well as a large number of individually selected titles. The end result is a federated search tool covering over 4,000 open access titles. It provides a useful and focused way to broaden your article search beyond those e-titles available through our journal and/or database subscriptions.
Sample titles include Americana: The Journal of American Popular Culture, Tympanum: A Journal of Comparative Literary Studies and Aether: Journal of Media Geography but you can see a full list of titles included here.

The CSE limit for indexing is 5,000 URLs so they're still under that, just about!
ReplyDeleteOne can also use wildcards in the CSE, to have one URL index multiple journals (when these are hosted on the same URL and server).
