We’re pitting Mosman Library’s online reference collection against what you can find from the search box on the world wide web!
Each day during Library & Information Week we’ll be posting a question that represents the range of queries that we get at Mosman Library.
The questions have been moderated by Ellen Forsyth of the State Library of NSW.
You decide who gives the best answers and wins the challenge.
Our Reference Librarian Jane B will represent Mosman Library. She’ll use only Mosman Library’s electronic resources to answer the question.
Our Internet & IT Services Librarian Ken D will represent the search engine. He’ll use only freely-available web resources to formulate his answer.
Each player has 45 minutes to research the question.
They have another 45 minutes to write up their answer and outline their search strategy.
Each day’s question will go online at 10am AEST. The answers will be published at noon.
You can vote once on each round. Voting will be open for 24 hours for each round.
The winner will be presented the trophy on Monday 1 June.
