Stanford Grokker

Stanford Grokker is the result of an innovative partnership between Stanford University Libraries and Academic Information Resources (SULAIR) and Grokker. Grokker is a research and information management tool that simultaneously searches many data sources, and presents results in a topically organized, visual map.

Grokker is the flagship product of Groxis, Inc.; a privately held company backed by leading investors, founded in 2001.

Please note: The desktop version of Stanford Grokker is no longer being supported, and is not available for download, SULAIR is working with Groxis on developing a web-based version of Stanford Grokker for the Stanford community. As that project moves forward, we will post updated information here.
