Yahoo!

Dancing at Yahoo!

I am glad that I have been introduced to ODLIS because I find that there are so many terms that are unique to the library and it is nice to be able to understand them! It is nice to have words defined as they relate to the library.

As an aside, when I was browsing through the terms, I came across Yahoo! which was defined as "An acronym for yet another hierarchically officious oracle." I didn't realize that Yahoo was an acronym! It made me curious about google as well. Apparently it is not an acronym but googol is the term for a number that is too high to be practical which reflects Google's mission to organize an incredibly large amount of information.
