Gary Amos has found an recent paper on Google -
http://www.exlibrisgroup.com/resources/metalib/To_Google_or_not_to_Google.pd
f. It's a good paper but I don't think the author makes sufficient
allowance for the potential of generic search engines to take business away
from Library Management Systems vendors in the future. Nor has he/she
spotted that Google doesn't just rely on Pagerank. I wonder if Google will
hitch up with a document delivery service. LibraryLookup for Amazon does
something along those lines already.
