How to Make Google Scholar Work for Distance Students

I’m not sure how I missed this last week, but Paul over at The Distant Librarian has come up with a brilliant idea to market library databases via Google Scholar. While this might correlate with the “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” approach that I have seen lately in our field, it’s one of the best initiatives that I have seen to come out of the Google Scholar discussions of the past few weeks. It’s not just for distant students either. It can be used by students working in the library. Oh, and Paul’s idea works!
