Thomas is Getting an Upgrade

August 19th, 2005

I tried to ignore David Utter’s ignorance of the library profession when I read the article and attempted to focus on and enjoy the news that Thomas is getting a (long overdue) upgrade. Lack of knowledge is, however, not easy to dismiss considering we’re in the information business. Utter writes:

“Like true librarians, officials at the Library of Congress have remained quiet on details about the forthcoming upgrade to the Thomas search engine, according to Federal Computer Week. But that upgrade will take place by the end of this year.”

I look forward to the new and improved Thomas and I’ll try to keep my voice down when it comes out.
One more thing. Google is only as relevant as the query put into the engine. Google in and of itself does not equal relevancy.
