Am I the only one who didn't know about this??

Have you seen the Google blog for librarians, Librarian Central? From the blog:

We began our outreach to the librarian community with the intention of sharing information with you about Google. This includes information about our library partnerships, products that you might find useful and details about Google Book Search. We're still committed to these goals.

To that end, we're going to provide news, product features and other Google-related announcements through our Google Librarian Newsletter, which we'll send out every few months.

The archives range over an interesting array of topics, from how Google ranks its results to Google Scholar, Google Docs--basically, all things Google and how it relates to the library. Put it in your RSS feed!
