Google does not equal the Web
A couple of weeks ago CIO published an article on better online information seeking behavior: "Six Techniques to Get More from the Web than Google Will Tell You." Quoted are Jessamyn West and Amy Cullen, both librarians extraordinaire. The article identifies business-centered online resources that aren't tapped by Google and other search engines, as well as alternative search engines. I learned about two resources I hadn't been familiar with before--so I'm confident that there's something there for librarians too :)

It was a good article, but I have a somewhat minor quibble.
She suggests going to the local library to search "Print news aggregators like Factiva and LexisNexis [which] allow you to perform keyword searches on business publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Fortune and Harvard Business Review—three great publications for current business information." I may be wrong, but I think LexisNexis does not make its product available to Public Libraries.
Also most libraries make their databases available online.
