Well actually I would be very grateful to know. In common with the majority
of professional physicists I routinely use on-line indexing resources such
as the Citation Index, the IOP & AIP facilities, Elsevier etc. However
these all require subscriptions before they can be used - particularly if
you actually want to read a paper once you have found it. Due to a round of
redundancies at work it is likely that I will soon find myself without these
resources and so I would very much like to know of the "better ways" of
which you speak!

Apart from that, my experience is that scientists are frequently made aware
of key papers by word of mouth (or email) by other workers in the field.
Unless you have a special conference edition of a journal, you will find
that the average edition of a publication covering your particular field
will contain very few, if any, papers of direct relevance to your research
interests and so it is very easy to overlook key papers, particularly as you
may have to keep up with dozens of journals. Thus notifications by
colleagues, exactly along the lines of Sam's, play an extremely important
part in keeping up to date within the professional community.

You will find few professional scientists on usenet.
(some moderated groups excepted)

Most have better things to do,
