[Web4lib] Beyond Google

Wittenberg, Kate. Beyond Google: What Next for Publishing? Chronicle of
Higher Education, Volume 52, Issue 41, Page B20. June 16, 2006.

"While we have been busy attending conferences, workshops, and seminars
on every possible aspect of scholarly communication, information
technology, digital libraries, and e-publishing, students have been
quietly revolutionizing the discovery and use of information. Their
behavior, undertaken without consultation or attendance at formal
academic events, urgently forces those of us in scholarly publishing to
confront some fundamental questions about our organizations, jobs, and
assumptions about our work."

Mentions libraries several times.
