Future of the Book

There has been a lot of discussion about the Google project to digitize books, and a recent article in the New York Times by Kevin Kelly, "Scan this Book", [May 14, 2006 - available via our Lexis/Nexis account]generated an open discussion on MPR with Pat Schroeder and Kevin Kelly on June 1, 2006. The audio file of the MPR recording can be found at:

Although most of us would agree that the paper book is not going away, we'd like to hear your views regarding the Google project, Kevin Kelly's forecasts, and the view expressed by Pat Schroeder.

Let us know what you think.
