Google Survey

According to the October 26th Google Librarian Newsletter, "Google is listening." Google would like to hear your opinions on Google tools featured on the Librarian Center, whether the librarian newsletter has been helpful, and what else you would like to see next.
The Google Librarian Center survey closes today, October 31st so if you haven't taken the survey go to:https://survey.google.com/wix/p0346970.aspx.

One thing I noticed as a Google Librarian Newsletter subscriber and while taking the survey, they seem to have forgotten about medial librarians. The survey lists almost every type of librarian except medical and in the newsletters Google mentioned they attended ALA. I would like to fill out a library survey where I am not "other" and I would sure like it if they attended MLA. After all, our users, medical professionals, are using Google and Google Scholar to find medical research and they aren't going to stop using it. I think we (Google and librarians) could learn a lot from each other. There are some neat things that medical librarians are doing with their link resolvers, their catalog, and Google. I am sure there is more we could be doing too.
