Google Scholar is the new Google web search engine which focuses
specifically on scholarly publications in all subjects - both published
material (books and articles) and grey literature (including theses,
preprints, abstracts and technical reports). It crawls websites belonging
to publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories and
universities, and is also analysing the citations within these documents
so if this service develops then there will be some interesting
competition for existing bibliographic databases.

The LOCKSS project (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) was highlighted in
issue 7 of our Webzine. The project now supplies open source software that
provides librarians with an easy and inexpensive way to collect, store,
preserve, and provide access to their own, local copy of the authorized
content (ejournals) they purchase.
