As info pros watch the development of new information visualisation tools such as Grokker, Mooter, anacubis, and even SmartMoney's Market Map, they see that user interfaces are going to be a lot fuzzier in the next couple of years. They will be able to clump information together, mouse over titles to get a sense of what's underneath, move the clumps around, reorganise them, rank them, sort them, discover similarities and new relationships - all of this without ever issuing a Boolean command. Not only will information professionals have to be good searchers, but they will have to be good intuiters as well, able to know where to look for information and how to sort through all the options presented to them. So Boolean searching isn't dead. But powerful Boolean logic has to be buried deep ...

Why are they back at a community college?" he asked. "I'll never forget talking to a Ph.D. in philosophy who said, Tm taking the welding program so I can go to work.' I said, 'Good for you.' "I'm not sure what [Shane Pierce]'s going to go into," she said. "He's a blank slate." She said she's not going to try to push him into one area of study or another. "The last thing I want to do is say, 'Oh, I know exactly what you should do,'" she said. What I do know is that I'm enjoying the process. I've learned to write a few minor Java programs, and since I didn't know the first thing about code a year ago, I always get a little thrill when they work like they're supposed to. I'm working hands-on with wires and chips in one of my labs. And I'm back doing math again. I'm computing the value of...
