There’s an interesting On the Media item called The Infinite Shelf (27 March 2009) about Google’s vision of creating the digital equivalent of the Library of Alexandria. I think it’s well worth listening to the MP3 download of this interview with Harvard’s Robert Darnton author of Google & the Future of Books (The New York Review of Books, 12 February 2009). From my perspective podcasts/transcripts such as this can provide excellent stimulus material for discussion with colleagues and – or – students.
