Brian CarnellOCLC’s planned search engine: The pros and cons of crapola filtering by the world’s librarians
I have to say I don’t understand this at all. Suppose I go to my university library…there are literally thousands of books in there that are filled with absolute nonsense. The public library down the street is even worse.
Would a librarian stand up and say “we will not purchase any books for our collection that are not thoroughly vetted for factual accuracy by a special committee of librarians”? If not, how are web-based sources any different?
