Google Book Search:
Its Impact on Scholarship and Libraries

A Roundtable Discussion with Experienced Library Managers

Broadcast date: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., April 28, 2006

This program will explicate Google’s vision of the future. We will discuss how a successful project will impact the world of information from the perspectives of librarians, academic administrators, scholars and publishers. This project has stirred up a bundle of issues, some of them contentious, but our goal is to highlight the key issues in a constructive manner. We plan to produce a program that is consistent with the academic tradition of a “spirit of inquiry” and not a polemic.
