Re: OT: Why the net Sucks: Stonehenge

Watching a program on PBS, I decided I wanted to read about Stonehenge.
Off to google, I go, searching for "Stonehenge". Didn't like the results. Tried Google directory, Yahoo, and Teoma: didn't like any of them.

The experience I wanted was a deep, rich, complete, authoritative, well-annotated, and well-accepted "Library-like" experience reading about Stonehenge: names of the best scholars, the names of the most influential histories and critiques on the subject, in short the sort of experience I would get at a University Library, only faster.

The internet is nothing like that. I am lucky in than San Jose has opened a San Jose State's University library to the public: even though it is not a world-class university, the quality of the knowledge available there *blows away* what I can find on the Internet.

Help me out here.

The net is best for finding out what books to read;)
