Here’s another story from the NYT pitting librarians and libraries against Google. This story, however, focuses on a group of smart librarians who are trying to figure out how to incorporate google and other online resources into how they and their aptrons find information.

Yet only recently have librarians stopped lamenting the trend and started working to close the gap between traditional scholarly research and the incomplete, often random results of a Google search.
