During his keynote speech at the Internet Librarian International Conference, Stephen Abram commented that Google was a huge challenge. He asked what it could mean for librarians if Google Scholar and vendors supplied a user with all the relevant articles, -and said that if librarians did not invent services, then Google would. If Google is good at "who", "what", "where", and "when" questions, librarians existed for "how" and "why" questions. The article from Hartman and Mullen provides a good review of both the literature and the trends regarding Google Scholar in the context of academic libraries. They report on their latest study of Google Scholar's integration into ARL (Association of Research Libraries) libraries websites. Their article illustrates future directions for integrating new categories of resources into academic library web sites.
