Evidently Google Scholar has been around for years, but I just stumbled across it recently. What does everyone think of it?
Going alphabetically with some authors, I tried to see how it worked: Alföldi, Beard and Cornell.
To me, it looks to be pretty hit-and-miss. For instance, Cornell's search results look good, but Beard's newest book isn't even on the front page. Perhaps I need to play with the search criteria to get better results.
Have you used? Is it any good?
