Libraries and Google
If you do not subscribe to Internet Reference Services Quarterly you might want to make it a point to look at their special issue, Libraries and Google. It is in volume 10, issue 3/4, the cover date is listed as 2005 but the publication date is 2006.
Side note: Come on Haworth this deal with publication dates and when they are actually published/available is getting freaking ridiculous. Example: Vol 11 Issue 1 is in prepublication but it is supposed to be the Spring 2006 issue...hmm we're comming into fall guys. Let's not even go to the combined 1/2 issue and 3/4 issues of volume 9....uh that is not a quarterly publication, despite what your website says. Its annoying.
Any way, back to the cool special issue.
All of the articles focus on some aspect of Google and its impact or relationship with libraries. There is a little something for everyone Google Scholar, Google books, or using Google for reference, whatever you find interesting about Google and libraries chances are you will find an article on it in this issue.
Normally I would just mention a couple articles of interest, but the whole issue looked so good I just couldn't.
