Rather surprised there has been no comment on this list about the deal done
between google and a variety of academic libraries... It had nearly a full
page in the FT last week, and I call anything which is about libraries and a
full page in the FT important.
I'm not clear on the business model, but as with JSTOR, I see this a
significant shift in the access, content regulation, topics of WSIS and an
important part of the development of the political economy of information.
My thanks for comments on JSTOT, now I'm looking for one on google case :)
