Librarians Want to Out-Google Google With a Better Search Engine

November 11th, 2008

Wired Campus – “Have you ever wished for a personal reference librarian, an information guru to point you to the most reliable sites whenever you search the Web? A new search-engine project aims to simulate something like that. The trick? Weighting search results so that librarians’ picks rise to the top.”

Very interesting.  Of course, not all librarians are good web searchers. [Thanks Joshua]

    I might try this one and add this to my list of favorites like Find.com. I don’t think they’ll outdo Google, just yet. Anyway, it’s still too early to tell. I hope “librarians” won’t disappoint me ;)
