An Interview with the Designer of Google Scholar
Since its inception, Google Scholar has made deep inroads within the academic community within a very short period of time and is often the first search tool used by researchers and students. While many of the traditional databases charge significant fees for their availability to the academic community, Google Scholar offers their services for free and continues to update and improve their services and the content that they make available. New features that Google Scholar has recently announced include the Google Scholar digitization project, a "key author" feature, expansion into non-English content, and the indexing of Elsevier's Science Direct collection.
Barbara Quint, of Information Today uncovers these developments in her interview with Anurag Acharya, the designer behind Google Scholar.
