Wow, so many ways to waste time. Should I feed my pet turtle or check-out what the Kardashians have been doing in the last five minutes? I did find 3D SWAT tempting. Hey, who wouldn’t want to goof off at work by eliminating “bad guys with extreme prejudice”? I liked that I could delete Gadgets that I didn’t want (go Web 2.0) and thus customise the iGoogle page to reflect my sophisticated personality. I like the news feeds, but couldn’t get Al Jazzera. iGoogle? iAmslightlyimpressed.
In the library, I often use Google as a first "point of call". This is especially the case with document delivery, where a quick Google search can confirm or challenge, for example, an item's title. It is then possible togo into Pubmed or some other database. Also, it is not uncommon to find complete texts available online through a Google search. So, while it is not exactly scholarly, a Google search can be helpful.
