A Miami Herald Blogger Picked Up the Google Answers Challenge
Liz Donovan, a news librarian who blogs for The Miami Herald, wrote about Mike’s Google Answers challenge to me in a post about the value of librarians that highlights virtual reference services and databases available through some of Florida’s libraries. She even pointed to it from her own blog: Infomaniac: Behind the News.
I saw Mike Thursday night, so I asked him what he thought about what I sent him. He said he hadn’t really had the chance to look at it yet. He told me about some of the cases he read about that involve John Edwards representing families with children with cerebral palsy and remarked that he was surprised I didn’t find anything about them. Maybe I’ll take another look.
(I swear I posted this around 12:15 am last night, but either I had a really vivid dream about coming back to the post and editing it after going through my referer log and then deleting the confirmation e-mail notifying me of a new post or my blog must have eaten it. Watch your eyelashes. This blog might still be hungry.)

It would be great if a law librarian jumped in and contributed to this query. I know that at the Harvard Law School Library there are many databases for legal research that are not available to the general Harvard community, but unfortunately, I do not know much about them. (Special collections is a world of its own with another set of reference sources and databases.)

Oh, and I just noticed while looking through messages in your discussion group pages that this post seems to be there three times (two from around 12 a.m. and one posted later today). So, clearly, you did create this news item when you thought you had. (I remember reading this story late last night, vaguely, but I could have been dreaming, too). Anyhow, it is strange that it did not post to your homepage…
