GODORT's actually running *several* google custom search engines. Besides the one you mention, there's also one searching <a href="http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=012681683249965267634:q4g16p05-ao" rel="nofollow">1090 Nongovernmental Organizations (NGOs) with consultative status with the United Nations</a> and another searching <a href="http://www.google.com/coop/cse?cx=006748068166572874491:55ez0c3j3ey" rel="nofollow">340 Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs)</a>. These search engines will be very helpful to students and researchers on many topics in which IGOs and NGOs are active (AIDS, global development, environment, human rights, gender etc.). On the non-GODORT side of things, I'm also building a custom search engine of library Questions&Answers sites (I described it over at <a href="http://librarianinblack.typepad.com/librarianinblack/2008/07/reference-qa-cu.html" rel="nofollow">LibrarianInBlack</a>) so I'd highly recommend that libraries of all stripes create blogs with their questions and answers.
