  •  
    Google knows a lot about the future of news -- more than many publishers. It's evident in Google's new product, Fast Flip, which allows news consumers to "flip" through news stories. What's striking about Fast Flip is that Google is innovating precisely where publishers used to lead innovation.

Library Inc. - - 2 views

  • Yet libraries, the intellectual heart of universities, have become perhaps the most commercialized academic area within universities, with troubling implications for the future of higher education.
  • Through innocuous incremental stages, academic libraries have reached a point where they are now guided largely by the mores of commerce, not academe.
  • Over the last decade, however, as the number and cost of journals have soared, most libraries have decided to forgo purchasing hard copies. The shift from owning a journal to merely providing access to its digital incarnation has, of course, saved some money. But those savings come in tandem with detrimental changes both to the content of library collections and the ways those collections are used.

But commercial innovations are not value-free, and it has proven very difficult for libraries to embrace some components while rejecting others.
