An interesting juxtaposition
Heather Ebey of Librarian Way has a great synopsis of some major digitization projects going on, including one at Stanford, about which my boss's boss's boss's boss has been interviewed in several venues. (People just love to hear about robots ...) The end of the interview correlates very closely with Keller et al.'s First Monday article on the continuing values of libraries in the Digital Age.
Very much more optimistic than the article that inspired the previous entry.
