Perhaps somebody reall is reading out blogs. In today's Michigan Daily it was announced that U of M will be partnering with Google to digitize all of the current library holdings. The article can be found here.
I mention in an earlier post jrtrana: More on Google that this could be a viable option for UM to update the current MIRLYN system. If the plans work out, I want full credit.
The plans are for Google to scan all 7 million holding in the University into a digital format over the next 6 years. The resources will then be searchable for key words and accessible to the general public worldwide. As the 6th largest library system in the country, this is a huge project with incredible implications. I salute the University and Google for taking on something so big for the greater good.
