ASM201 Journal Entry Question #5
Reading in Cyberspace, will it be affective? Will reading in cyberspace increase the amount of reading an average person does? A lot of people can take advantage of this since they can read or take a preview of the book they might buy. Its like a library on your computer but you don't have to look really hard to find the book. All you have to do is type the name of the book and click the one you like.
Do you think librarians will be threatened by the new development? Well the answer will probably be no. The book search will most likely not have all the book that can be found at the library. Since it only runs on sources that it has recent relations with. Old books found in the library might not be available online. Therefore people will still have to visit the library for information.
Will this library-based digitization affect Google’s relationships with publishers? This will not affect them a lot because publishers, librarians, authors and the general public have all expressed interest in the Google Books Library Project. Therefore not changing the publishers relationship with Google.
In conclusion Google Books can be a very good resource for people to use without leaving their homes to go to the library.
