[LM_NET] Gen: Happy Library Workers' Day!

[Beth Yoke <byoke@ALA.ORG>]

April 4th is National Library Workers' Day!  Here's a little something
from YALSA, which we hope makes you feel appreciated: 
 
Five Reasons Why YA Librarians are Better than Google: 

5. Google locates only web sites, while YA librarians find all types of
resources in any format.  
4. Google requires you to design your own searches, but YA librarians
help you plan an effective search strategy.  
3. Google leaves it up to you to sort through the mountain of results,
while YA librarians assist you in selecting information to meet your
specific needs.  
2. Google provides no quality control, but YA librarians always have a
Plan B if your search yields no results. 
1. Google is an inanimate web site with no ability to offer moral
support, but YA librarians are real people who can dispense things like
encouragement, high fives and even hugs.  

Thanks for all the hard work you do to ensure that teens get the best
library service!
