[Sigia-l] Google Scholar

[Donna Timara]

What value does it add, looking at Google does not own any database of
Scholarly content? 

I am comparing it with some of the already established ones - Factiva
for business/financial, ACM for HCI, HBR etc... Is the search
capability that big a deal?

I am sure it is good for Open Access Journals, but then what's the
difference with what was Google search before. I want to understand
why this is making headlines today.
