Day two of IST 511
I love the federated searching of the new SU library site. I'm glad to know that searching technology is headed in this direction. I also learned a term called "pearl-growing" for cultivating the citations in a resource to find further resources. I've been doing that for years, and am glad to know it's an actual research technique!
Two representatives from Razorfish spoke to the class after the regular session was over. I was curious about the concept of librarians helping guide user-centered web development, but discovered that the culture and goals of this and similar companies don't really appeal to me.
