I think the biggest problem with this story is that going to the library is
referred to as "the bad old days." In a time when libraries are losing
funding, shutting down, being digitized by Google, it may be more important
for our Associations to respond with a statement explaining why Google
Scholar is far from comprehensive. You may have to take a walk (heaven
forbid they get away from their computers), but students will still find
better resources in their campus library.
