Excellent!

I was just testing out Google Scholar (beta version).  When I run a search on the concept I developed for my doctoral research framework, my dissertation is the first result.  Nice!

(To more fully appreciate why I'm excited about this, understand that at the time of writing the dissertation, the term I coined to describe that concept was, I believed, original to me.  Later research revealed that others had come up with it, independently and more or less contemporaneously, to describe similar concepts, so I am quite pleased that Google has decided that my coinage takes pride of place.  Whoo!)

That's really cool! Congratulations on being at the top of the google hierarchy!

I really like google scholar too. I find articles in one or maybe two searches that I'd otherwise have to search through like three or four separate subscription-only databases to find. Of course, you still need the subscriptions for access, but at least you can see what's out there before you go through several painful database search processes. I imagine that it doesn't yet index everything - but it really seems to index quite a lot.
