Reference Extract: A Potential Major Contribution To The World of Search
From The Ever-Imaginative R. David Lankes and Friends !
/Gerry
Reference Extract [http://referencextract.org/] is envisioned as a web
search engine, like Google, Yahoo and MSN. However, unlike other search
engines, Reference Extracts will be built for maximum credibility by
relying on the expertise and credibility judgments of librarians from
around the globe. Users will enter a search term and get results
weighted towards sites most often referred to by librarians at
institutions such as the Library of Congress, the University of
Washington, the State of Maryland, and over 1,400 libraries worldwide.
