The Live Search team made a decision to pull the plug on Live Search Academic and Live Search Books (including the book scanning project). This is sad news for those of us who had high hopes for those services and the value they were adding to the academic and research communities.
Please be assured, however, that my group is going to continue its efforts to provide tools and services to the academic/research communities, like our “research output repository” platform (including a personal research repository application), the virtual research environment, World Wide Telescope, the bibliography search space, and many more. Please stay tuned!

Come on Guys! I am a PhD student and a big supporter of Microsoft. Before Microsoft shut down Live Academic I barely used google (because at that time live search was better for me). What is going to happen with Live maps, etc. once we are used to them??? will we be forced to go back to google (Should we have never moved?)?
Hi Andres,
Thank you for your comment.
I don’t think that Live Maps is going anywhere. You don’t have to worry about that.
As for bibliographic search. Stay tunned. My team is trying.
Cheers,
