Reuters is reporting that Princeton has joined up with Google to scan in all of the books of their library. Many have speculated that such an effort spells the doom of books. While this effort by Google may result in more people having access to more information, I believe that we are a long way off from a bookless world. If we do end up in a bookless world, let’s hope it is because we have come up with some better way to distribute information, and not because our access to information has been removed.
