[WEB4LIB] RE: Postcards from Planet Google

[Sloan, Bernie]

A couple of interesting excerpts:

"Google cofounder Sergey Brin puts it succinctly: 'I'd like to get to a
state where people think that if you've Googled something, you've researched
it, and otherwise you haven't and that's it.'"

And...

"Some even wonder if Google might be too much of a good thing. 'I use it
myself, every day,' says Joe Janes, assistant professor in the information
school of the University of Washington. 'But I worry about how over reliance
on it might affect the skill-set of librarians.'"
