There are two articles written by a freelance librarian who worked (albeit
briefly) for Google Answers. She has written about the experience in:
West, J. Google Answers Is "Not" the Answer. American Libraries v. 34 no. 6
(June/July 2003) p. 54-6
and also:
West, J. Information for Sale: My Experience with Google Answers. Searcher v. 10
no. 9 (October 2002) p. 14, 16, 18, 20
and finally in:
West, J. Google Answers Back, or How to Become an Ex-"Google Answers"
Researcher. Searcher v. 11 no. 1 (January 2003) p. 60-1
Personal accounts, for sure, but quite interesting,
Claire

Quoting "Grant, Janice" <[log in to unmask]>:
> Following today's 'silly season', how about something more important.
> Did some of you see the article in the BMJ of 24 December 2005, written by a
> librarian, 'How Google is changing medicine'?
> (BMJ 24 Dec 2005, p1487-1488) -

>
> I'd be interested in other health librarians' views on this - a subject a
> little more important than a mischievous press release to publicise a
> psychology conference.
