Colleagues/ 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.
