Google digitization article in the Chronicle of Higher Ed
Herring, Mark Y. Don't Get Goggle-Eyed Over Google's Plan to Digitize.
Chronicle of Higher Education, 51(27), B20. March 11 2005. (Subscription
required for online access).
Basically, this Op Ed piece lists "five reasons not to tear up your
library card quite yet":
1. Copyright. Obviously Google has some issues to work out regarding
their intent to scan copyrighted works at Stanford and Michigan.
2. Past Failures. Not past Google failures, but rather past failures in
large scale digitization projects by other organizations.
3. Preserving Books. What impact will industrial strength/speed
digitizing have on the physical books? The author suggests that Google
may have "underestimated, perhaps substantially, the percentage of books
that will be damaged or that cannot undergo rapid digitization."
4. Google's Future. Basically concerned about what happens if Google
gets out of the book digitization business, if libraries rely too
heavily on one source for digitization.
5. Ecological Concerns. The author is concerned about increased demand
for printing, and use of paper.

LITERACY - WHY IS ENGLISH SO HARD TO LEARN?
Integrate literacy (Language Arts), the arts (music) and
technology into the classroom using Interdisciplinary,
thematic, collaborative Online Curriculum, Readability Tools
Resources about American Dialects.

The author then lists a few other concerns:
* Increased potential for plagiarism;
* Heavy reliance on English-language materials;
* Will there be advertising;
* The books would promote "picking and choosing, not really reading".
