Test Run Librarian

Yet another complaint about ALA's attempt to change the librarian stereotype: "Librarians are Not Search Engines." The points are very weak and unconvincing as usual. Does this complainer not understand that librarian as search engine is an ad campaign, not a statement of who we are? CAN WE PLEASE BREATHE SOME NEW LIFE INTO THE PROFESSION? OK, off soapbox.

Here is something more positive: a site that allows you to compare search engines. Cool!
