Thank heavens for librarians (and thank heavens for job security for librarians)!<br /><br />I think most people who would go to the trouble of coming to the library to ask such questions have either had bad experiences with online searching, or are complete strangers to technology. As a librarian, I couldn't be happier when people ask me such fairly straight-forward research question; it gives me an opportunity to explore search engine choice, search phrase construction, choice of results, and credibility with someone who may have had poor experiences in the past.

(As a librarian, I would then go to IMDB or google to get the answer and be thinking to myself, why didn't she just google it herself?) Maybe because I'm an introvert so it doesn't occur me to use people that way, unless I am asking a specific person who I know is an expert at the topic in question.<br /><br />Found your blog via the SearchReSearch blog btw.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473137858756682725.post-87672991625784540172013-03-31T07:05:14.007-07:002013-03-31T07:05:14.007-07:00I think that was because searching is LIKELY to ge...I think that was because searching is LIKELY to get a bunch of results than unique exact information. And some people still think human resource is more reliable than net. But if I were in place of her, I would rather do a brief search or ask via Google Now.<br />Cheers:-) tlaunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11300601483401997386noreply@blogger.com
