Google Launches Librarian Newsletter.Navigation: Main page Author: Oder, Norman Section: [lj news]
Google has produced the first issue of the company's Newsletter for Librarians, aiming to answer some of the most frequent questions the company gets from that constituency: How does Google index the web, and how does it rank the results? Quality engineers explained how Google crawls the web, builds an index, and ranks documents and determines relevancy. The newsletter, intended as a quarterly, was conceived at the 2005 American Library Association conference in Chicago. According to Google, "Librarians and Google share the same mission: to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. The goal of this newsletter is to highlight ways we can work together to fulfill that mission." While librarians may share many goals with Google, the latter is a for-profit company, so the interests may not always be in alignment (see News, LJ 1/06, p. 19ff.). ~~~~~~~~ By Norman Oder in the Fair Use guidelines of the 1976 U.S. Copyright Act. info [at] singlearticles.com Powered by CommonSense |
