Google and the New Digital Future, By Robert Darnton, The New York Review of Books


Description

"Google's attempt to transform its digitizing of texts into the largest library and book-selling business the world has ever known... The most ambitious solution would transform Google's digital database into a truly public library. That, of course, would require an act of Congress,... it would have the advantage of ... giving the American people what they deserve: a national digital library equal to the needs of the twenty-first century. But it is not clear how Google would react to such a buyout."
