Abstract	In the journal "The Chronicle of Higher Education," an article by Geoffrey Nunberg criticizes Google's Book Search (GBS), emphasizing that disturbing errors are endemic. He recognizes that for mainstream "googling" purposes, "they don't really care about metadata provided by a library catalog." In perhaps his most discouraging point, linguistics professor Nunberg notes that the Google team blames libraries and publishers for bad data. In this article, the author shares his experience of working with another of the search giant's data-crunching products, Google Scholar (GS). He mentions that the free GS has become one of the most convenient resource to find a few good scholarly papers but it cannot be used to analyze the publishing performance and impact of researchers.
