[WEB4LIB] Peter and Art's GoogleScholar Bookmarklet

[Ross Singer]

Ok, this should be fixed... I, uh, didn't bother to actually "try" a 
book search.

That's what the users are for... debugging.

It's still not perfect, by any means.  For instance, a search for "The 
Old Man and the Sea" in our catalog comes up with 0 hits because from 
SFX we use an exact search into our catalog and preceding "the"s are 
dropped.

It may be best to suppress Books altogether and use Open Worldcat for that.

Or, in the future, possibly different item types can have different 
behaviors, but I get ahead of myself.

Thanks for finding this,
-Ross.
