Google's Library Project -- “But, as we all
know, we should be careful what we wish for. This particular project, I fear,
opens up more problems than it solves. It will certainly fail to live up to its
utopian promise. And it dangerously elevates Google's role and responsibility
as the steward — with no accountability — of our information
ecosystem. That's why I, an avowed open-source, open-access advocate, have
serious reservations about it.”
“It pains me to declare this: Google's Library
Project is a risky deal for libraries, researchers, academics, and the public
in general. However, it's actually not a bad deal for publishers and authors,
despite their protestations” A Risky Gamble With Google [The
Chronicle of Higher Education]

Something to think about.
The average public [B size] librarian in Iowa
runs a business with a circa $22,000 budget and capital assets of circa $3,000,000.00. Compare that to other business in your community. Take that same phrase and substitute your libraries figures.
