Google, Scanning, the Future
This is really too bad. Google has stopped scanning library books under pressure from the publishers. It's quite understandable that the publishers would want to protect their copyrights. I really hope they can come to some kind of agreement especially in light of the very limited shelf life of modern books printed on paper instead of parchment. The goal of digitizing these collections, I would think, is a must if they are not to be lost. Here's to hoping!
