This morning was frustating with Google Scholar. I just wanted to get hold of some scholary literature on "Methods forBenchmarking Organisations". So, opened up Google Scholarhttp://scholar.google.com and fired the first term - "benchmarking".Good - 149,000 hits to good quality looking literature. So, startedclicking by one by one to see the hits. But, what is this?!! Almostevery click was asking me to pay somewhere 20 to 40 Dollars to havethe access to full text. Obiously - this is the locked up knowledgefor me. What is the use of these wonderful hits to high qualityliterature when I can not view them. Next I opened up Open J-Gate http://www.openj-gate.com/ and firedthe same term "benchmarking". Had to wait for the results. Ultimatelygot the result - 216 hits. This served my purpose. Not that thesepointed to high quality papers. But I got what I wanted in return forwhat I could afford to pay for. No wasting of time in clicking andwaiting to learn that I can't afford to buy the stuff. Later found that OAIster http://oaister.umdl.umich.edu/o/oaister/gave 1674 hits for the same term. But then, all Open/Free Accessliterature may not be OAI compliant. Why can't Google creates a service for just Open/Free Access ScholaryLiterature and name it as OpenScholar?. Its better technology can helpsmall mortals like me. Sukhdev Singh, NIC.http://openmed.nic.in
