Abstract

Wherever librarians gather, brows furrow as the vexed question of Google is raised. Whilst its services are regarded with great favour by many users - and not a few librarians - the profession remains cautious and sceptical. Rightly so, because our training and experience should make us distrust any "one stop" solution to the complex problems of searching for information.
