[Pen-l] Google Monetizes Public Libraries?

[Michael Perelman <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

With public libraries reeling under expanded budget cuts, Google's new deal 
with the publishers seems to threaten public libraries, which offer 
Internet service.

Karen Coyle's warning about Google's new plan is short enough that I need 
not summarize it.  Google's response seems disingenuous.
Keep in mind that the major university libraries supplied books that were 
subsidized by public money.

Whatever happened to "do no harm"?
