[WEB4LIB] another tactic-- Integrating Google Scholar with pa id library licenses

[Binkley, Peter]

 It wouldn't be hard to take the javascript out of my googlescholaropenurl
Firefox extension and incorporate it into Art's bookmarklet, so that you'd
get the proxied links AND the OpenURL button, usable in any major browser...
