RE: DATABASES: Google Scholar

David: 

You make a very interesting point in your first link:

"I can testify after just one search that the results found may include
older documents. I did a search on my own name and found only one result,
my oldest publication."

After I did several searches using various keywords, most of the results
yielded material citing works published in the mid-'90s...I could not find
anything from 2000 onward. Perhaps this is because Scholar is still in
beta????

There are two new posts on Net-Gold today regarding an innovative new
research service today from Google, Scholar Google.

The first has a discussion of the sources features as well as links and
excerpts to media coverage of this new development including a link to the
coverage accorded Scholar Google by Gary Price in his Resourceshelf.

The second post discusses the relationship of Scholar Google to OCLC
Worldcat and to individual library holdings.

Here are the links to these posts.
