In what is an emerging trend, Extensa, an e-Publishing Service, announced that Google will begin indexing its journal holdings. The process will work like this: "Users who select Extenza client publishers' content from the results list on Google will be authenticated using Extenza standard access control mechanisms. If they have authorized rights to the article they will be granted immediate and seamless access. If they do not have appropriate access rights then users will be taken to the abstract for the content, where they will be able to log in and purchase access to the article on a Pay Per View or Document Delivery basis or request a subscription to the relevant journal." I hope that Google understands that when it links to sites I cannot read (and instead redirects me to what are essentially advertisements) that it is breaking its search functionality. I don't mind Google indexing such items, but if it does this, then I want to be able to filter these results out of my search. Google, are you listening?
