Librarians : are they committed to a “SERVICE IDEAL” ?

“Or, it (occupation) may be committed to a SERVICE IDEAL but lack a Theoretical Knowledge Base, as in case of Social Work, Nursing and Librarianship” – Nina Toren (Chapter 4 in Imitai Etzioni / The Semi Professions and Their Organization.- Tronto : The Free Press, 1969

Google Vs Authors

Google Books Digitization Project ......!!!!!!!

· As per Circuit Judge Denny Chin the Tech Co wins rights to digitalise books.

· What are the benefits : Google expands its library project, Readers find all of their books which otherwise would have been difficult to find., Good for people around the globe, as pronounced by Google it will benefit higher sales and does not reduce the sale.

· Author guild which was fighting the case get disappointed ….

· We need to watch and see what happens further.
