[WEB4LIB] RE: Google Scholar

[Eric Hellman]

Shirl and Gary get a number of things flat-out wrong in their review.

1. Google IS crawling full text of publisher sites that are not 
available without subscription, not just to open web.
2. You CAN use more than just author last name. Initials work quite well.

and YES, OpenURL link servers (such as ours) DO work with Google 
Scholar results where they have managed to capture the DOI.
