[Web4lib] google & library catalogs

[Jim Campbell]

Note that through open URL Google Scholar already can do most of the things
in this paragraph from Rich's message. You're identified with an
institutional IP address, but you can also customize GS to include links
from up to 3 resolvers. But it's up to you and your student theatre to
figure out a way to get their production included.
