<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>About mid-July, I sent out a note to the NFAIS membership
about Barbara Quint’s column on discovery services that appeared in
Information Today. Specifically, I wrote “<i><span style='font-style:
italic'>NFAIS members may be interested in Barbara Quint’s column in this
month’s issue of Information Today (</span>The Undiscovered Discovery,
Information Today, pgs 7-8). Quoting the blurb in the IT table of contents,
“bq details some pitfalls in evaluating discovery services.”
It’s unfortunate that it’s not available online but here’s
one quick line, “…I still think these services are a good idea,
probably an essential one. Someone has to find a way to make library-licensed
material more amenable to a Google world</i>.” </span></font></p>
