The daily need to tap into knowledge relevant to their field is driving tech workers in all types of organizations to scour the Web for timely, up-to-date information, but making sure it's accurate can prove a challenge. A recent survey asked tech workers how they search for information, to what degree they use and share it with others, how it affects their performance and how much they would benefit from subscribing to professional information services that vet information and sources.
How unfortunately reflective of the times that this article turned out to be just a plug for O'reilly. The same has happened to most internet searches...there was a time when you Googled something you got sites with information, now you get sites that will sell you information. The information is still there but it's getting much more difficult to get though the wall of commercialization to find it.
