I thought Northern Light interesting
http://www.nlsearch.com/
because of its approach to grouping search results, its combination of
internet 'search engine' and special collections (taken from journals,
magazines, etc), and its jobs page recruiting librarians :-)
I wonder has anybody done any evaluation of the 'special collections' or
had any user feedback.
Seems to me to be an interesting part of a trend towards more
information-rich, mass market Internet services (see also the link to
Amazon from AltaVista, and indeed the services provided by Amazon itself.)
