Boy, Google has changed

Still thinking on that RefWorks assignment. The last time a librarian showed me how to use Google Scholar it was 2006 and things were a bit more rough. It was a little bleak and I didn't use a whole lot of reference from my searches. It was still fun to play with, but not what I needed for a paper. But the RefWorks assignment really gave me an idea of how much it has changed in just a few years. It's like night and day. There is so much on it that it kind of made me afraid for libraries, I have to say. Not everything you need is there, but a good deal of the sources were identical to the Scopus searches I did. It's very impressive.
