Indiana University is partnering with the search engine ChaCha.  “The experts will initially be comprised of the university’s librarians and IT staff, working just for the university’s ChaCha search. Indiana University will be paid based on how often the ChaCha system is used…”  Two words stick out to me:  “initially” and “paid”.
