I think this can be deleted, but tagged it just in case. It seems to me to mostly be a critique against Google's digitization project, pointing out better ways to digitize books.

Blog entry by Georgia Harper about the implications of the Copyright Act and the inability to copy orphan works.

This is the Table of Contents page of the Scholarly Electronic Publishing website. This Website is an index of citations to articles about various topics related to electronic publishing. For example, Publisher's Rights Issues: Digital Rights Management contains an index of probably 50 relevant articles, print & digital, related to that topic. Do we really need any other source? I'm just going to tag this with our four main categories and we can probably find all the sub-categories within these articles.

This link leads to an 2000 article by Marlene Manoff called "Hybridity, Mutability, Multiplicity: Theorizing Electronic Library Collections." Much of the article discusses bibliographic control at a time when the internet was still a fairly new environment. Ms. Manoff discusses the changes that were occurring around 1998 - 2000, and many of these cataloging issues are still around today.

This page features the results of the collaboration between Google and the LOC to digitize Congressional hearings. I tried the Immigration collection, and found it easy to download and search the .pdf document. This is a great resource for researchers.

While interesting, this article doesn't point toward the feasibility of an all digital library. This can be deleted.

Fulltext Sources Online is an index published by Information Today, updated weekly online and available twice a year in a print version. FSO "is a directory of over 42,000 full-text newspapers, journals, magazine, newsletters, and transcripts from 30 aggregators and content providers."

The article is interesting, but I truly question the claim that Amazon will sell $1 Billion dollars worth of Kindle hardware and software by 2010. What is relevant to our study is the reader comments. It's not a scientific random sample, but they are easily accessible opinions of the Kindle.

This author argues against the "long tail" theory of internet research. Interesting, but directly relevant to our study.

"Open Journal Systems (OJS) is a journal management and publishing system that has been developed by the Public Knowledge Project through its federally funded efforts to expand and improve access to research." From the Home>Software and Services page.

This is the Website for the Universal Digital Library project at Carnegie Mellon University. The "Copyright Policy" page clearly spells out how the project adheres to the existing copyright law, and provides information for authors who either want to add their work to the project or have it removed. It is interesting that this project allows for self-publication.

This article points the way to a study for review: Ithaka's 2006 Studies of Key Stakeholders in the Digital Transformation in Higher Education, but the link doesn't work.

This is the initial data from a Deep Log Analysis study currently underway in the UK. The study analyzes the clicking behavior of ebook users, and then places that data into context: do people go to the brick-and-mortar library, or stay home? How long do they spend reading the books or articles? This report captures the results of 20,000 e-book users in the UK between January and May, 2008.

Springer eBook Collection claims to be "The World's most comprehensive online scientific book collection." There are some contact names on this website that we may want to include as interviewees in our study.
