It’s Google Tuesdays again. You may now exhale. 
Instead of the separate intro post, I’m going to launch right in, because I have a lot of scribbling to do, mainly on two topics,
Google Scholar and Gmail.
Recently Google unveiled a new specialty flavor of search engine. So what do you need to know about Google Scholar, and does it have any significance to your site whatsoever?
Google has a whole page about it, and on it, it says “Use Google Scholar to find articles from a wide variety of academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories and universities, as well as scholarly articles available across the web.”
So basically, searches for information that are beyond consumer interests.
If you are an author (fiction or non, according to findings by some librarians), refer to scholarly works, are a professor who writes for a university, run or belong to a professional society that publishes your work, or are doing a doctoral thesis of any kind, or are involved in scientific work of any kind, you are likely to pop up in the engine evenutally, according to the Google Scholar FAQ page.
As it stands now, you can either wait for the spiders, or contact them through the information on their about page.
