What Search Engines Mean for Publishers

The Journal of Electronic Publishing is back online after a three-year hiatus. The new edition of the peer-reviewed online journal focuses on the impact of search engines on the publishing world. "Google, Yahoo, AskJeeves, AOLsearch, and all other search engines are our own personal idiot savants, giving us data without intelligence, facts and not knowledge," writes the journal's editor, Judith Axler Turner, a former writer and editor at The Chronicle. "That tells me that our next big challenge is to harness the power of the search engines to support real communication and meaningful sharing."

The journal is produced by the Scholarly Publishing Office of the library at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
