[WEB4LIB] Google Scholar

[Kathleen Shearer]

Contrary to what has been reported in some of the articles about Google Scholar, I don't think the content in institutional repositories is being made available through the service (even though some IR content *is* accessible through the regular Google). On the other hand, content from several disciplinary archives (eg. arXiv) has been included.
