Science Search Comparison
The Library Link of the Day for Thanksgiving Day was an interesting article from Current Science called "As we may search - Comparison of major features of the Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar citation-based and citation-enhanced databases" (PDF file). Fits in nicely with the discussion of SCOPUS etc we had in the Reference Committee meeting today.

David, thanks for sending this. I took a look at SCOPUS yesterday and decided it isn't something we need. I'm going to read the article because I like keeping up with current trends.
NP. It does kind of seem like SCOPUS isn't really necessary here. Should we consider putting some info about Google Scholar in the new website?
GSU has a using GS page as an example.
We should consider a tutorial on Google Scholar, and that raises a point about those "Find It @" and "Full Text @" links. They don't happen automatically and I think we might need SFX to make them work and keep them current. It'd be nice to have though.
