Google's Library Projects

On searchenginewatch, Gary Price posted a clear description of the Google initiatives which reach into bookish territory (Google Print and Google Library Program); he gives a good foundation for understanding the current news about the copyright problems Google is moving itself into. We will hear lots more about this topic.
       The Chronicle of Higher Education has a good article about the letter to Google from the Association of American University Presses, and Business Week also has a story that includes the full text of the letter. (Whoa. Long and formal.)
       As we posted earlier in the month, Wade Rousch's illluminating article, "The Infinite Library", gives us a lot of thinking points on this subject.
