Company Watch--BiblioMondo Montreal Gazette "The Global E-Library"
Key quotes from company CEO Todd Joron, "What BiblioMondo has recognized is that there are libraries in every city of every country in the world and historically they are the points of excellence within a community. They have all of the information. What we've done is taken that model, applied it to software and used those libraries as leverage points, turned them into digital points of presence." Today, "if you use a search engine like Google or Yahoo!, you get about 200,000 hits and you'll never get past the first 10 of the first page. As the Internet grows to a billion users, the number of Web sites becomes unmanageable. There have to be quality points of presence that people can go to. Libraries are the No. 1 source of quality information available."
