I'm curious whether there are any plans in place for people to find Firstfind. Are libraries going to feature it as their homepage? The focus of my work has been on how people find content on the Web and my impression is that the problem often is more that users don't know how to find material relevant to them not that relevant information does not exist online (although there are certainly such cases as well).

I imagine since it is a project of the libraries, librarians would also be trained to direct people to the directory where appropriate. But I agree that getting people to appropriate content is an important issue as well. Apparently, “Several public libraries in the New York City area provide a link to FirstFind on their homepages”.
