Google Scholar

Google Scholar
This seems to work really well. I tested by putting in my name, very modestly. It came up with books and papers in order of citation, one click to find who cites.
There are some anomalies. Often a book/article appears under several variant headings. A working paper that came up in ISI/World of Science as my most cited publication didnt appear - maybe its listed as "I Miles" not "Ian Miles".
But this is quibbling. Its a great resource!

BTW, new versions of Firefox (excellent browser) and Thunderbird (email) are now downloadable from Mozilla. Try them!!
