Dear Friend, The current issue of the New Yorker has an article by Anthony Grafton called Digitization and Its Discontents that discusses the ongoing tension between the traditional print library model versus the Google Book projects of the world. The article is well written and provides an excellent general overview of the issues. Link http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/11/05/071105fa_fact_grafton Vimal Kumar Asst.
