The Google Custom Search Engine (CSE) has just been made easier to set up and use.

The brief summary: create a page of links to web resources you feel are useful and appropriate for a given topic. Via Google, you generate a short bit of code that is added to the page, and you have a search tool that will let people do a full-text Google search on all of those resources — without you having to maintain anything other than the page of links. If you add or remove links, the CSE automatically adjusts the search to match. Techie description and details are here.

So if your library has lists of web resources, this may be a way to effectively let your patrons search them for the information they want.
