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