“The Librarian of the Internet” : findingDulcinea.com

“How much time have you wasted online, wading through a sea of useless or unreliable information? Online searches may give you millions of search results in under a second, but you’re left to sift through them yourself. Does it make you wish the Internet had a librarian who would refer you only to the best Web sites?”

The paragraph above comes from an online description of a website called findingDulcinea.com, co-founded by Kate Davey ‘04. The site is a combination of news feeds, web guides, indexes and other useful information, packaged so that it can be glanced at for a quick update, or browsed in depth for more information.

What’s particularly endearing to those of us who work in the library is the site’s emphasis on the difference between reliable web resources and the rest of the junk that’s out there. Users who click on the web guides page will find advice and guidance in navigating what amounts to information overload. Kudos to alumna Kate and the Dulcinea Media team for providing both an educational and informational resource!
