- QUOTE: Google Scholar is a freely accessible web search engine that indexes the full text of scholarly literature across an array of publishing formats and disciplines. Released in beta in November 2004, the Google Scholar index includes most peer-reviewed online journals of Europe and America's largest scholarly publishers. It is similar in function to the freely-available Scirus from Elsevier, CiteSeerX, and getCITED. It is also similar to the subscription-based tools, Elsevier's Scopus and Thomson ISI's Web of Science. Its advertising slogan — “Stand on the shoulders of giants” — is a nod to the scholars who have contributed to their fields over the centuries, providing the foundation for new intellectual achievements.
  Google Scholar arose out of a discussion between Alex Verstak and Anurag Acharya, both of whom were then working on building Google's main web index.

- QUOTE: If you’re curious about some of the people behind Google Scholar, here’s your opportunity to get to know a few. Meet Alex Verstak (a software engineer who has worked on Scholar since its inception and developed the Library Links program), Robert Tansley (who researches and develops systems to index and archive digital content), and Christian DiCarlo (who works on content partnerships so we can make more scholarly literature searchable).
