Google, just in time for ALA Midwinter in Seattle, unveiled its new blog for librarians. Phil Bradley’s got a comment on it and Steven Cohen objects to the graphic of a building that seems to be Google’s antiquated idea of what libraries are all about.

With only one post to the blog so far, I find it pretty difficult to believe anything either pro or con about it. I do think that Google is reaching out to librarians in a more obvious fashion than the other search engines. My real question is why none of them show up at WebSearch University? Granted, WSU doesn’t pull as many people as ALA (what does in libraryland?), but every single person there is vitally interested in what Google, Yahoo, Ask, and Microsoft are doing.
