Confessions of a Librarian or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Google
Gunnels, Claire B.; Sisson, Amy
Community & Junior College Libraries, v15 n1 p15-21 2009
Have you ever stopped to think about life before Google? We will make the argument that Google is the first manifestation of Web 2.0, of the power and promise of social networking and the ubiquitous wiki. We will discuss the positive influence of Google and how Google and other social networking tools afford librarians leading-edge technologies and new opportunities to teach information literacy. Finally, we will include a top seven list of googlesque tools that no librarian should be without.
