Well, we've found Scholar useful when faced with an
extremely dodgy reference....
Other than that, I'd prefer users went for PubMed &
emailed us references which we picked up for them full text from Medline!
And google scholar advanced is still available if one
googles it..... On this page, you may be as precise as you wish, and omit
patents, etc.

Subject: [LIS-MEDICAL] What
advantages do Pubmed/HDAS have over Google Scholar?
Dear
Colleagues,
While
preparing for a training session, I’ve been doing some comparisons of
results on various databases and search engines to see the numbers of hits.
Although I have only been doing some rudimentary quick searches for sake of
comparison (just in the article title field), I still think these results are
really interesting. They make me pose the question in the title of this email:
so what advantages do Pubmed/HDAS have over Google Scholar?
Results
Article
title field searches –
Keyword:
Aripiprazole
Pubmed:
1152 results
Embase:
1745 results
Scholar:
2700 results
Keyword:
Risperidone
Pubmed:
2984 results
Embase:
4065 results
Scholar:
6930 results
Keyword:
Kleptomania
Pubmed:
110 results
Scholar:
239 results
As
regards my question, here are a few things I can think of:
Advantages
of Pubmed/HDAS over Scholar
-
You can tick boxes to save your results in a nice PDF document
-
You can save search histories
-
When they do work, full text links can be implemented without
individual user input across numerous computers in the Trust
Advantages
of Scholar over Pubmed/HDAS
-
No need to fiddle with MeSH and subject headings – still
seems (at least upon superficial glancing) to retrieve more results
-
Searches across a number of different subjects and disciplines
all at once, no need to change your database
-
No need to sign in with
-
No need to sign up for
-
Search interface has one easy to use search bar
-
Searches dissertations, book literature, court opinions and
conference proceedings all at once
All
seem to offer email alerts and linking in to reference manager software. At the
moment my advantages for Google Scholar list seems to be longer than the advantages
for Pubmed/HDAS. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Barberry
