Fascinating article by Jeffrey Toobin in The New Yorker about Google’s Library Project, and its quest to match the corporate philosophy of “organizing the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.”
Along the way, you’ll read about those academic libraries who object to the project, the Author’s Guild suit against Google, the history of copyright, page-turning machines and the two founders of Google Sergey Brin and Larry Page, and how they always planned to create a ‘library of all libraries project’ such as Google Book Search.
