Hi Clement,<br><br>
If your DSpace site content is publicly accessible and you don't exclude
harvesters<br>
(i.e. robots) from crawling it, then Google will index it in google.com
on their normal<br>
schedule. <br><br>
If you want it included in scholar.google.com then you should write
to<br>
scholar-support@google.com (they intend to include most DSpace sites in
that<br>
index, but they don't know about all of them... only the ones I've
notified them about<br>
for the Google pilot project we're doing, and those they've found on
their own).<br><br>
If you register your site here
<a href="http://dspace.org/feedback/form.html" eudora="autourl">http://dspace.org/feedback/form.html</a>
there's a better<br>
chance that I can help ensure that Google knows to include your site, but there<br>
isn't much I can do to speed up the rate that they harvest it...<br><br>
Best,<br><br>
MacKenzie<br><br>
