2007 Lists - Here they come!

The Web is positively churning these days with end of the year lists, touting the best and the brightest of 2007. We’ll bring you word of the big lists throughout December here on the Hill Library blog, but what can you do with them?

You can use these 2007 lists to make a guess about what 2008 will be like – because what’s leading edge today is commonplace tomorrow.

So when Oxford University Press lists top words of the year you might assume that these highlight new ideas working their way into our everyday vocabulary.

When Yahoo lists 2007 search trends and Google announces fastest growing search terms, you can discover the types of topics holding our collective attention.

The things that spark our interest today just might charge our credit cards tomorrow. Can you use these lists to plan strategically?

Stay tuned for more end-of-year lists!
