Google Announces “Google Scholar”
The latest tool from Google is aimed specifically at the educational community. It’s called Google Scholar and is focuses search results on scholarly literature such as peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports. The term “instructional design”, for example, brought up 46,500 results from scholarly publications.
Anurag Acharya, Principal Engineer for the project, said, “We at Google have benefited much from academic research. This is one of the ways in which we are giving back to the research community. We hope Google Scholar will help all of us stand on the shoulders of giants.”
