Kudos to Google for its ambitious plan to scan and post the contents of several prominent libraries. And while some argue that this won't be replacing the world's physical libraries any time soon, I believe it is in fact indicative of a trend that will ultimately result in all libraries going digital. Printed books will always be around in some form, of course, but electronic books and information will be the primary research sources in the near future.
