Google Scholar -- One of the things that we TOC aficionados have been known to whine about has been the dearth of academic papers legitimizing the topic. There may be more out there than we know about. And there may be a new way of finding them...
Google has launched a new beta service -- Google Scholar -- that is aimed at digging into the "hidden" assets of the web. Academic and professional papers, many if not most in pdf format, along with cited books and web resources are what you'll find in a scholarly search. This is very cool, from a search technology standpoint, said to be developed by a Google engineer on his "20% time," as well from access to non-commercial content. Very cool. [FAQ here]
And for ["critical chain" project], here's what they've got. (Without adding "project" to the search keyword, you also get stuff on critical chains of DNA.)
