In the 'Beyond Google' department

Via The Shifted Librarian, this pointer:
Carnival of the InfoSciences #59: "...First up, Jimmy Atkinson sent in his post Research Beyond Google: 119 Authoritative, Invisible, and Comprehensive Resources. It's nothing librarians don't already know - you can't find everything in Google - but it's a nice round-up of resources broken out by subject and is even annotated. It also includes some commercial databases potentially available through a user's library. The list is aimed at students, which is why I am especially glad Atkinson included the following statement: 'Do you think your local or university librarian uses Google? Sure, but certainly not exclusively. In order to start researching like a librarian, you'll need to explore more authoritative resources, many of which are invisible.'"

YALSA enters MySpace

Via Peter Scott's Library Blog, this interesting notice:
YALSA announces new MySpace Page: "The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), the fastest growing division of the American Library Association, has announced the debut of a YALSA MySpace Page.

Now is there someway to entice the SLAC-ers into using this? - link
