I had two young gentlemen in the library today--fairly computer-competent, wary of asking for help from some old librarian. They had been in before, attempting to finish a marine science assignment. One of them finally approaches the ultimate search engine (a librarian--me!) and says: "I have to have a picture of a bluefish egg. I've been searching everywhere. In a few minutes I find it--including images of the entire life cycle, buried way deep in the middle of a governmental, 30 page long, pdf file. He leaves. Other young man comes over, never one to ask a librarian for help. "Uh, would you know where I could find a picture of a snook egg?" Using the root of the same URL, in seconds I have the snook egg. "Sweet! Thanks!" he responds. Made my day! What would you expect from the ultimate search engine! :-) Adam Adam Janowski Library Media Specialist Naples High School 1100 Golden Eagle Circle Naples, FL 34102 E-mail: NHSWebmaster@collier.k12.fl.us Phone: 239-430-6644 Ext. 390 Fax: 239-430-6673 Library web site: http://collier.k12.fl.us/nhs/lmc/ School web site: http://collier.k12.fl.us/nhs/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=- All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
