Oh, gosh, in all my previous posts about “looking for the Answer Man,” I completely forgot the Answer Men I actually know: “Virtual Dave” Lankes and Mike “The Big 6″ Eisenberg. And they’ve just come out with a planning proposal for a search engine to be called “RefEx” (for Reference Extract) that seems to build both on participatory librarianship and virtual reference.

Hm, could this be the answer to Google?

(Well, probably not, but I love these guys for trying!)

P.S. Dave, you’ve got some typos on that project webpage: what’s with, “Let’s use the natural intelligence of librarians to help identify credible sights.” Sites? Cites?
