Greetings colleagues,

Millions of Books, Free on the Web?

Harvard and other premier libraries are working with Google to digitize
millions of uncopyrighted works using brand new scanning technology.
Google is making them full-text searchable for free on the web.  What does
this mean for libraries?

Dale Flecker is coordinating this amazing undertaking.  Come hear 
about it from the Associate Director for Planning and Systems in the
Harvard University Library.  Mr. Flecker will also be talking about other
Google projects (like Google Scholar) and their implications for
libraries.
