"Most reliable search tool could be your librarian"

I was excited to read this posting. It is something that that library profession has been discussing for years. It is by Elinor Mills, a staff writer at Cnet News.Com.

One of my favorite quotes from the article:
"There's a problem with information illiteracy among people. People find information online and don't question whether it's valid or not," said Chris Sherman, executive editor of industry blog site SearchEngineWatch.com. "I think that's where librarians are extremely important. They are trained to evaluate the quality of the information."

So...don't hesitate to give us a call or stop on by. We're here to help.

Thanks for reading,

George
