As a pop culture resource, it's invaluable. Hot tech information, too. I think it's gotten better as a resource, but we've still been instructed to inform patrons that it may not be 100% reliable. It's funny, because I'm reading the book, "Googled:the end of the world as we know it." It's like a trip through a time warp. I had just started by library career when the internet was gaining ground as a reference source. Now, where would we be without it?
Still searching through file drawers of crumbling newspaper clippings and wrestling with enormous phone books with teeny-tiny print! That's where. :-)
