[Web4lib] Google Scholar and OpenURL resolvers

Try http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Labs-Google-Scholar?lnk=
The only success I have had in reaching Google is to go through one of the groups, post what you need, and hope for a reply that is useful. There is one for Google Labs - Google Scholar.

Anyone have any bright ideas on how to get in touch with a human at 
Google regarding getting Google Scholar to show our link resolver 
(assuming the bots haven't completely taken over)?  It used to show 
up in Scholar Preferences and was the default for our IP range, but a 
couple of months ago we had a hostname change on the server where the 
links and holdings file live, and we dropped off their radar.  I've 
sent numerous emails to the only Scholar-related address I can find 
(scholar-library at google.com), and have been bugging my link resolver 
vendor (III) to notify GS, but after over two months, no response 
from Google (and close to none from III) and still no link.

Today I discovered that "Lafayette College - FullText at IngentaConnect" 
is now showing up as the default for our IP range, but I have no idea 
what that is nor how/why it's there.  (We have very little Ingenta content.)

Thanks,

Bob Duncan
