Ms Dewey?
Microsoft's viral marketing campaign features an actress with an attitude, Ms. Dewey. She has little audio files and video clips to pull out when you type in a question. The image here is from findability.org, which reckons Ms. Dewey is part of Microsoft's strategy to overtake Google by developing an alternative search engine. I think they need more work. Pandia agrees. See their review.

It does not look as though Ms. Dewey is supposed to be a librarian -- only her name suggests that. Her activities while waiting for questions involve PDA (or maybe it's a gameboy?), or maybe jotting notes in a little pad. No books anyway. But maybe we should be grateful for a snappy-looking almost-librarian representation. I still prefer the Lipstick Librarian -- at least she's a real librarian!
