NPR: Google's Plan Prompts a Question: What's on the Web? 

This week, the search engine Google announced plans to digitize millions
of library books and make them searchable online. Are we getting closer to
the day when most of the world's knowledge is a click away?

Key Players interviewed, e.g., Michael Keller (Stanford Univesrity and
High Wire Press), Brewster Kale (Internet Archive), Paul Gerhardt (BBC
Creative Archive)
 
This is a *VERY* Important episode of _Talk of the Nation_ and IMHO is a
Must Hear ! [38' 10'']
