The Power of Search

The Age (Melbourne) has a good article about search engines, largely from a librarian or information professional perspective. The article discusses various search engines and also new collaborative relationships between search engines and organisations such as the Library of Congress. The OAIster Project, a collaboration between Yahoo and the University of Michigan, is outlined as are various recent research projects into the 'tacit connections' of internet searching and attempts at increasing search engine functionality. Ends with a timeline of the development of the search engine. (Via LISNews)
