Subject: an exchange on Google

Peter Brantley at Berkeley sent an email titled “an exchange on Google” to the members of the Digital Library Federation:

I was permitted to reproduce an incredibly penetrating and insightful exchange on the merits of Google book search by paul duguid and patrick leary.

I immediately had to email my old colleagues at the University of Michigan’s Digital Library:

This exchange is “incredibly penetrating and insightful”? And, as it says on the web page, “seminal”?

Sounds like all the conversations we had for months and months on the 3rd floor [of the Hatcher Library, home of UMDL]. Breadth vs depth, quantity and access vs quality. I get it. I mean, I got that a long time ago.

Am I missing something?

At least he mentions Perry Willett and his colleagues. You go, guys and girls.
