And thanks to our friends at Yahoo! and Google, patrons can quickly access lots of wonderful information.

Speaker Notes:

Everyone is familiar with search engines like Yahoo! and Google. They have done such a good job making information findable that many patrons think: "If it's not on Yahoo! or Google, then it simply doesn't exist."

Yahoo and Google have relied upon crawlers to visit each of billions of Web pages. They create a central index of these pages that are crawlable.
