Google Book Search won’t shelve libraries’ role

The Daily Colonial has an article from Tufts Daily on Google Book Search. They say Google’s digitization of millions of books from five top research libraries has raised questions about the future of libraries in a digital world, but information authorities at Tufts University do not feel threatened by the Internet behemoth’s venture.
“Basically, we don’t think that it is a bad thing,” said Laura Walters, assistant director for teaching and research at Tufts’ Tisch Library. “Anything that’s online that is academic is just a supplement to our print resources.”
