Hi,
This is my link to Pipes
http://pipes.yahoo.com/rct tm suicide prevention/dbdb5ecc35ee1835053b23aac2262e95
I found this is very interesting. I have put Google, Yahoo, Wikipedia and nlm.nih.gov databases/directories/search engines to search the term “Randomised Controlled Trials (RCT) in Telemedicine and Suicide prevention”.
It’s fantastic; I have received 21 items which are related to the search term. However I have received a message saying that “Can't fetch pages that robots.txt disallow” and I don’t know what it is?
I am still not sure it how it can be best use in literature search. But I think if this works, it will be a good relief for me to make a pipe and waiting for results rather than searching each and every search engines separately.
Any idea!
Thanks!

Hi Rohana,
Robots.txt is a file that website owners can place on their site that tells web "robots" (such as Google's search engine, Yahoo's Pipe system) from traversing a specific area of their website.
I would say that the site you tried to fetch some items off has a disallow rule in their robots.txt file, and unfortunately, this stops most spiders/robots from accessing it.
For a more technical-slanted description, see Wikipedia's article on the matter.
I hope this helps you!
Sam
