Scan this book! (Amazing NY Times piece on digitizing books)

Posted on 07:47 by Unknown
Sunday's NY Times Magazine cover story is a manifesto "Scan this book!" by Kevin Kelly, which explains (1) why books will be exponentially more useful once they are digitized, and (2) the ridiculous legal hurdles that prevent full-throttle industrial-scale digitizing from happening today.Judy Breck at Smart Mobs has posted a nice summary of the article.

If you want to put the power of the fully networked digitized library into your SNA research, then see also my Nov 2005 post on CiteSeer, where this technology is being used heavily every minute by the technical/academic community.
