My son, in 4th grade here in California, was assigned a research report on the California Gold Rush and decided to focus his report on the different routes taken by the 49ers.

via Jack Vinson's post Knowledge workers do more than search , found the article: Beyond Search is REAP. This is really on the mark and my only wish is that his article or Jack's had pointed to more help with the rest of the process.
