I have looked at several image generators; most seem more appropriate for My Space accounts. Examples are below; they are from ImageChef.com .
Eric Zino, who teaches workshops on virtual reference and e-resources, wrote a very interesting article about virtual reference in the February 1, 2009, issue of the Library Journal. He expressed his dissatisfaction with the quality of virtual reference sessions since he thinks that too many are simply referrals to computers and lack in-depth responses.
I did a search on meta-search engines and found a very informative table done by the librarians at the University of California in Berkeley (www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Internet/MetaSearch.html). This site states that Berkeley suggests directly searching each search engine for "the most precise results." They suggest using the following "at your own risk" : http://www.clusty.com/, http://www.dogpile.com/, http://www.surfwax.com/, and http://www.copernic.com/. Then their PDF on "Getting Started Creating a Custom Search Engine" focused on Google Custom Search Engine (CSE) at www.google.com/coop .
