Wanted a search engine that feels our pain. Anna sends along this interesting piece from from the Albany NY Times Union In lieu of learning effective search strategies students want search engines that will read their minds and give them the results theyre looking for The story specifically looks at results that were returned from students searching for Holocaust information Students dont want to go to the library anymore they want to go to the computer and have it act like a librarian But a librarian wouldnt put a book about white supremacy on the bookshelves presenting it like its an argumentandSo a concept cluster doesnt sound all warm and fuzzy It probably wont try to off you eitherFor that well have to wait a few more generations [LISNews.com]
