Canadian Magazine Search Engine Launched

A Canadian magazine search engine was recently launched at http://www.magomania.com/english/ . According to the press release, the site contains information about over 300 Canadian magazines, as well as an archive of freely-available articles.

Articles can be keyword searched, and the search can be done on the entire database or limited to one of several categories. Results appear in a (slightly annoying) pop-up window. Unfortunately, the results I viewed were not dated -- there was no way to determine when they'd been published merely from the article page. This is an odd and unfortunate oversight. In addition, a few of the articles I read were not formatted properly.

This is a good idea, and there's plenty of good content in place here. Hopefully as this site grows some of the wrinkles will get ironed out.
