At tradeshows or in boardrooms, whether there's one I person or many looking over my shoulder or watching it on a big screen, I watch to see when they "get" it. When do they really get the power of Mosaic? When do they really understand what the Internet makes possible? When do they realize that this is something they always wanted to do with a computer? One thing I usually do when Mosaic appears on the screen is to distinguish between the Mosaic interface and the document that is displayed. I say, "When I use the scrollbar, which Mosaic provides, everything that moves is in the docu­ ment window, where formatted documents containing text and graphics are dis­ played. The document itself contains any number of hypertext links, or connections to other documents anywhere on the Net. I move the mouse pointer over a link and click on it.

Challenges libraries face include copyright restrictions, the over- whelming task of scanning documents (most likely done by commercial PHONE NUMBERS vendors), storing large amounts of data, and purchasing more powerful computers. User expectations are growing.

    International Journal of Management & Information Systems – Fourth Quarter 2011 Volume 15, Number 4 History Of Search Engines Tom Seymour, Minot State University, USA Dean Frantsvog, Minot State University, USA Satheesh Kumar, Minot State University, USA ABSTRACT As the number of sites on the Web increased in the mid-to-late 90s, search engines started appearing to help people find information quickly. Search engines developed business models to finance their services, such as pay per click programs offered by Open Text in 1996 and then Goto.com in 1998. Goto.com later changed its name to Overture in 2001, and was purchased by Yahoo! in 2003, and now offers paid search opportunities for advertisers through Yahoo! Search Marketing. Google also began to offer advertisements on search results pages in 2000 through the Google Ad Words program. By 2007, pay-per-click programs proved to be primary money-makers for search engines. In a market dominated by Google, in 2009 Yahoo! and Microsoft announced the intention to forge an alliance. The Yahoo! & Microsoft Search Alliance eventually received approval from regulators in the US and Europe in February 2010. Search engine optimization consultants expanded their offerings to help businesses learn about and use the advertising opportunities offered by search engines, and new agencies focusing primarily upon marketing and advertising through search engines emerged. The term "Search Engine Marketing" was proposed by Danny Sullivan in 2001 to cover the spectrum of activities involved in performing SEO, managing paid listings at the search engines, submitting sites to directories, and developing online marketing strategies for businesses, organizations, and individuals.
