Abstract
Google's announcement that it intended to digitize all the books in several major research libraries was met with mixed reactions. John Wilkin at the University of Michigan declared “This is the day the world changes,” while Rory Litwin said inLibrary Juice that the move would “commercialize the great research libraries with a handshake, suddenly and epochally.” The four directors of the Universal Library and Million Book Project have received many questions about the comparative aspects of our work and Google Print. My purpose is to compare the two, talking about their genesis, the realities of collections and logistics, and the worries that arise from these realities.
