Abstract

When I interned at Google last summer after getting my MSI degree, I worked on projects for the Book Search and Google Scholar teams. I didn't know it at the time, but in completing my research over the course of the summer, I would become the resident expert on how universities were approaching Google Scholar as a research tool and how they were implementing Scholar on their library websites. Now working at an academic library, I seized a recent opportunity to sit down with Anurag Acharya, Google Scholar's founding engineer, to delve a little deeper into how Scholar features are developed and prioritized, what Scholar's scope and aims are, and where the product is headed. -Tracey Hughes, GIS Coordinator, Social Sciences & Humanities Library, University of California San Diego
