Libraries vs. Google

From Medialoper, ‘Librarians versus the search giants.’

You want a hot discussion? Put librarians, Microsoft, Google, and Bob Stein from the Institute for the Future of the Book on a SXSW panel to talk about issues surrounding book digitization (and call the panel “Revenge of the Librarians”). An hour wasn’t nearly long enough for the conversation - and the diverse audience proved that the issues surrounding digitization aren’t limited to a small segment of the population.
