Reference Extract

The new search engine endeavor by OCLC and the information schools of Syracuse University and the University of Washington called "Reference Extract":

"The best search engines are great for basic search, but sometimes the Web site results lack credibility in terms of trust, accuracy and reliability. So, who can help? Librarians. If a librarian recommends a Web site, you can be pretty sure that it’s credible. RefEx will take hundreds of thousands of librarian recommendations and use them in a full-scale search engine."

The article goes onto say that this will be as good as other popular search engines (Google, Yahoo), but the results will be based on those most used by librarians!

I'm interested to see how this evolves and how successful the marketing will be to the general public. I'll keep my eyes peeled for updates on this one! Yeah! It took awhile, but...yeah!
