RE: Google's Card Catalog Should Be Left Open

One might ask the same question from the other side: What if it were OCLC
and/or ALA that were doing it? Or the Library of Congress?

Personally, I think that the Google digitization project will be great.

My hesitation is that I wonder how would people feel about the project
if some greedy publisher was behind it.  And if they felt differently,
then what's the reasoning that we should make special allowances for
Google?
