Seems this is a really hot time for this topic. I’m glad to see my statements during the presentation seem to be accurate so far! Nice to see that the article mentions the same COSLA publication I discussed…
Interesting overview article about Google Editions:

I heard it was a great presentation! I wasn’t able to attend but one of our librarians did. She loved it! Good work.
