Shirl Kennedy and Gary Price give us an overview of Google Scholar. A few quick facts to supplement their about page.
- Google won't say what it does and does not consider "scholarly". My search turned up lots of books which then allowed me to do either a "library search" [worldcat, natch] or a web search [Google] for the title which I found strange.
- no ads on Google Scholar pages
- Some citation linking, some full text, same old problem of getting a good cite and then hitting a subscription database wall.
