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.
