Librarians - what don't they know!?

Which is a parody of what Homer (Simpson) said about Rock stars.
I use answer boards for any problems I have with my laptop and I find them quite useful when I'm in the lurch and pleasantly surprised that people are happy to share their knowledge for free.

Yahoo Answers seemed silly to me, one question asked "What will a tattoo on my chest feel like? Hello?

In my opinion Ask Now should be promoted/marketed big time-but since that won't happen overnite, maybe staff that are rostered to Ask Now could answer questions @ Yahoo Answers and leave a link to Ask Now- that's if they have the downtime??

With answer boards it is a matter of picking the questions to answer - ones that highlight services/questions libraries can help with.
