[Eril-l] Does Google Scholar still have "BL Direct" links?

[Dominic Benson]

Bob,

On Demand is not available on Google Scholar. Response from BL: " We withdrew BL Direct as a service around 5 years ago.
We have a replacement service, On Demand, but I am not aware of how we left things with Google Scholar and I believe the BL staff with those contacts have left. On Demand includes everything that was covered by BL Direct and a whole lot more. It includes all records held in the library's remote [document] supply collection."

Kind regards,

Dom Benson

Google Scholar shows (or used to show) links to "BL Direct" so that people could buy documents from the British Library. Some library websites advised patrons not to use BL Direct, but instead to use interlibrary loan. I can't recall seeing the "BL Direct" links recently. Does anyone know if Google has removed the links entirely, or do they still appear for some records?
