Enter then the broadband-transportation link. Fast, reliable Internet connection makes telecommuting far more feasible –– to transfer files, worksheets and video clips, access company databases, create videoconferences and more. But "telework" can't function well when employees don't have broadband access. Simple equation: Universal broadband equals increased telecommuting, which in turn means less roadway demand, fewer greenhouse gas emissions and less pollution. Even if a worker telecommutes a day or two a week, it can make a real difference.

IBM just announced availability of a freely downloadable enterprise search product that installs with three clicks, packs the same features as a Google Mini, scales to half-a-million documents, and is built on open-source technology from the Apache Lucene project.

 Yahoo brings a familiar interface, Internet search, and consumer mind share.

Lucene offers a solid, open, full-text indexing core.

the software has a small footprint and can run on a laptop, IBM has added incremental indexing, support for 200+ document types, support for 30 languages and linguistic features such as synonym detection, spelling correction, lemmatization, stemming and a "did you mean" feature that suggests alternative queries. The relevance ranking is adjustable. It does not rely on link analysis, which often fails inside the enterprise. Instead it uses OmniFind relevance ranking algorithms.Based on the Lucene open source search engine, the OmniFind Yahoo Edition goes beyond commodity search. It is certainly quick to install: Download it, configure it in three clicks and point it at a URL to crawl. However, it is also configurable and customizable. Administrators can change the look and feel of the search page, create shortcuts to other Web pages or best answers to a top query. Reporting tools monitor usage to determine null or frequent searches, and to gauge the effectiveness of the results being returned.

Librarians can be an indiscriminate sort when it comes to technology. We are, or rather have become, something of a gadget-possessed profession

F.W. Lancaster, who coined the phrase paperless society, has even bemoaned librarianship's “completely uncritical [acceptance] of information technologies”

Maybe it is time we all take a step back and have a mini re-evaluation of Library 2.0, what it is, and how it can help us better serve our users.
