In the LSW chat room, Walt Crawford mentioned a recent kerfuffle inspired by Anna Kushnir’s post about how much she hates PubMed.
Walt also thoughtfully pointed out the responses of David Rothman and the Krafty Librarian.
Frankly, I agree wholeheartedly with David Rothman. But I’d like to add:
Doing a literature review for your dissertation – especially when you are earning your Ph.D. from a school as prestigious as Harvard – should not be as simple as searching Google. Otherwise everyone would do it.
