It's the end of the semester so most of the questions are regarding creating citations for bibliographies or panic about frozen computers and unsaved research papers.

Library Journal (Vol. 132, no. 18) directed me to the work of Siva Vaidhyanathan, who is writing a book online titled The Googlization of Everything. His blog is a really interesting examination of the role of Google in information access.

Haven't come to my own decisions about it yet, but he brings up some really interesting points.
