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

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 librariansâ€™ 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 😉
