I can’t help but wonder if developments such as Kindle and the Sony’s Ebook Reader are going to have a big impact on libraries sooner rather than later.

And it sounds as though Google is on the verge of being able to digitize any book, even current ones through paying $60.00 class action payouts to authors.

I liked the post by Dr. Wendy Schultz – “Infinite Futures. To a temporary place in time…On the way to the library experience of the future” where Library 1.0 to 4.0. are discussed.
On a totally different note does anyone know how to edit images with a white or transparent background like those of the authors on this site? Is there a program or website that does it easily? Thanks!
