Abstract


The entrance of Google Scholar onto the academic scene in 2005 was not necessarily welcomed by librarians. But patron?s discovered Google Scholar?s ease of use. Without focus group or behavioral research, the data from SFX, catalog proxy table and ILLiad can build a pattern of patron use for Google Scholar.
