@aires For a while, it looked like the internet and modern (old Google) search engines were going to make librarians and curated databases redundant. But now, the opposite is true.
If you want information related to electronic engineering, then the search engine at https://xplore.ieee.com will still find what your are looking for.
There are similar databases for all fields of knowledge, if you know the ones to use; and librarians know what they are.
Electronic libraries staffed by humans FTW
