Looking for the Answer Man 2

July 9th, 2008

Thanks to today’s braindump from Web4Lib (a great listserv for anyone interested in arguing about the future of libraries, by the way), I was pointed to this March 2008 article from Wired which mentions the new “vogue for human curation” (new?!) in the context of their round-up of mediated search engines (several of which were new to me, though none of them seem to be nearly as good as the average reference desk right at the moment. And, ironically, the first one mentioned, Brijit, has apparently already shut down due to money problems….)

Oh, and before I forget: a theory-related Unshelved cartoon!
