Libraries and the Google Zeitgeist
What did the world search for in 2012? Google analyzed 1 trillion searches in 146 languages to compile its year-end summary of trending queries - searches that had the most traffic over a sustained period. The analysis includes a multitude of categories including news, events, athletes, authors, colleges and universities, museums and yes...libraries!
