The power of Professor Google

He might not be very at eggs, but he is quite good at indexing. I find that a search term of 'merton public libraries outreach impeccable' gets just three hits this morning, the last of which is my own post of yesterday evening.

Perhaps not altogether a fair test, as Google might be expected to index the stuff on its own Blogger product with priority and might well remember that this particular PC is interested in that particular blog. But I like to think that I would get the same result using one of the anonymous PC's offered by Surrey Libraries.

The shorter search term of  'merton public libraries outreach' does not work so well as there is lots of interest in outreach out there: perhaps the curators of all those trenderising museums have got a point after all.
