Exploring resources in order to determine their full potential in information-seeking is a necessary part of the ongoing education and training of information professionals. One should explore every resource available in order to make the best judgments when relevant queries are introduced. In this article, the author stresses that one key to great information service is to provide the needed information in a timely and effective manner. The information on the Internet holds plenty of reliable answers, or answer-leads, that patrons are seeking. Google indexes the results according to the search terms used, how the sites are written. To ignore Google's resourcefulness is to ignore a potentially useful--and thus valuable--resource at one's fingertips.
