Impact Factor of Google Scholar

It is almost impossible to read a newspaper, trade magazine, library list serve or blog without coming across some reference to Google. As a librarian in the academic community, you are faced with a growing number of faculty and students who use Google to begin their research. With the recent launch of Google Scholar, the need to be informed about what Google is doing and how it impacts your community has become essential.

Bowker's market intelligence division, Simba Information, has recently published a business brief that will provide you with the information you need. Professional Publishing: The Impact Factor of Google Scholar is a concise overview, which includes a recent research study about "library reaction to Google Scholar." Learn what it is, the industry's reaction, and Simba's forecasts and conclusions, in order to help you better respond to the needs and questions of your colleagues and patrons.

Additionally, if you are involved in the purchasing of A&I databases for your library, Simba's business brief STM Abstracting & Indexing: Facing the Crossroads will provide you with a unique market overview, including company profiles and the key trends for this segment in the future. Visit the link above to learn more.

Buy both business briefs and save one hundred dollars off the combined price.

As the conduit of information for your community, your library stands to benefit greatly from understanding the trends that impact the flow of information. Order these Simba business briefs today to stay on top of current facts and future trends that affect your library.
