Google jockeying
From Educause, here's an article on a phenomenon I'd never heard of before -- "Google jockeying". http://www.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/ELI7014.pdf
In the "Scenario" section there's a nice account of what happens when the instructor takes on the role and shows the students how they could be finding better information. I wonder if any faculty members would be interested in having a librarian serve as "Google jockey" occasionally?

Great idea! In addition to doing the jockeying ourselves (what fun!), we could offer library instruction for students to prepare them to be the best Google Jockeys they can be...
