This ResourceShelf announcement about the availability, for free, of a service called Answers.com, is worth noting. I am embarrassed to say that I had never heard of GuruNet (Answers.com’s predecessor). I’ve used this service a little bit and think it is good enough to advertise more widely for users of my library. I’ve also downloaded and installed the 1-Click Answers.com software and like it. With this you can point to any word or phrase in your web browser, do an Alt-Click, and this will query Answer.com for you. Great stuff.
