Subvers of Traditional Library Wen Zhu Pinyan (05-03-07)
Maybe a day not far away, when you need to find book information, your creature is no longer going to the nearest library, but open the IE browser, log in to Google interface, and then knock into the search. Bibliographic. The world's largest search engine Google, the world's largest search engine Google, announced in the evening of December 13, 2004, will cooperate with the New York Public Library and Harvard University, Stanford University, Michigan University and the British Oxford University Library, The famous library collection book scan is made into electronic version of the online version of the Internet for readers to read. At that time, Google will create a non-detained world's largest virtual library. Part of the library becomes a network life has always been the biggest virtual library of Google from the unforgettable dream. Although many people put Google's virtual library planning is the increasingly fierce competition with other companies such as Microsoft, Yahoo. However, traceability of Google's growth process, we can find that the library has changed to the network life has always been the initial dream from Google from the unforgettable. Google's founder Giblin and Larry Pace have been committed to the development of digital library projects during the study of Stanford University. "Before you create Google, we have moved to move the librarians such as such love, so that they can search." Larry Pace said, "our goal is not only to let users stay in Zimbabwe It is easy to find uncommon traffic, and let users read the immortal drama of Shakespeare. "The dream of Sajiblin and Larry Pace, who was announced last year, and received support from Stanford University. Stanford University announced that all collections were handed over to Google scanning, and the "open arms" is the University of Michigan, and they agree to Google open all 7 million colangs. To date, Google has gained a number of support from the top library: Harvard University intends to first allow Google to scan 40,000 copies in its collections, and then decide whether to provide other books according to the actual effect. The University of Oxford is willing to make Google scan all books published in 1901 in 1901 in its collections. Compared to the two university libraries in the number of books, the New York Public Library is more generous: they have submitted some of the excitement of some copyrights, and the fragile precious halls are submitted. The library's officials believe that many scholars are interested in these materials. According to Google's conception, when they make all these top libraries to the electronic version, Google's users can easily search and read all contents of all copy-owned books. For those books protected by copyright, the user can not peek the whole picture, but can also read their directory, content summary, and the name of the library that can borrow this book. Nowadays, Google's virtual library is planning to be in full, but this idea sounds thrilling, it is so fast that there is not some media boasts so fast and easily. Although Google is the world's largest search engine, the most advanced computer technology, but makes the so much book scanning into electronic version is not easy. For example, in the University of Michigan, if they are arranged in this 7 million books, the length will exceed 200 kilometers. Google takes at least six years to complete the scanning of this quantity book. All work is still far more than scanning, Google will face other tricky issues, including converting handwriting foreign books to English electronic versions. Of course, all of the business community is to pursue high-profit rewards, Google's work is also necessarily dedicated to the public. Although Google claims that any fees will not be charged to the user during the user's search, there are still many people who have won the huge business opportunities for Google. "Books are structured information, which may motivate online services that have not yet been formed, such as questions." The network blog writer in the search industry John Badler said.
Such services will mean bringing income to Google. At the same time, the quality of the search results will also be improved by the number of millions of books, and give it the advantage of competitors such as Microsoft, Yahoo. In addition, Google will share advertising revenue from related advertisements next to the book content. Can it compare the inventions of printing? In fact, it is not fresh to store ordinary books to the computer through scanning technology. Many large websites currently provide new book preview services, and there are also many websites to provide online book reading or electronic version downloads. But the Google's plan is that the number of online reading books provided in the future is huge, and can be retrieved through the company's famous search engine. This is also the reason why the Google's virtual library program has been launched, and the reason why the public opinion is close to the thumbs up. According to the survey made by the New York Times, many scholars and librarities have agreed with this plan of Google. Mitchell, Mi Cherche University, Mi Shel, strongly supported this new library movement. He said: "Within 20 years, the most knowledge in the world will be digitized, and the information charges are like a lubricious fee. Shameless, future knowledge must be open. "" This is a huge opportunity to provide our information to others. "New York Public Library Hall said," It can solve an old problem: if people I can't find us, then how should we find them? "David Naviao, Dean of the New York City University Graduate Center, also said that through keywords to search for books and research literature, not only shortening the time of propagation of academic research results, Reduce the money spent during the propagation process, and the field of view of scientists studying in a very convenient way. The head of Oxford University Library Service, Ronald Mirn is not a word of his praise. He believes that Google's virtual library plans, the importance can almost compare with the inventions of printing. This move of Google is so warm, and its competitors are naturally not willing. There is news that Yahoo and Microsoft's MSN sectors have begun to contact the major libraries, hoping to join the encyclopedia, library books, and other resources in the search. It is foreseeable that in the near future, a storm that is starting from Google will be treated to the world, and it will be limited by its subversive area. In February 2005, the French knowledge industry used a collective call to rose its impact to the height of the nation and the world. Jean-Noel Jeanneney, the French National Library, announced on the 23rd that the French National Library will open a news from the 22nd pavilion of the 19th century and the newspaper Internet access, and he also expressed his concern: Google For the choice of work, some traditional European perspectives and English may be pretended to define the worldview of the future era, we are facing the risk of US overwhelming domain. "He called on the EU authorities to launch your own plan and web search engine, To balance this phenomenon. "I don't want the French Revolution only to refer to the books of the United States, they are presented or good or bad, but they are not us." The library industry ends or new students? Once the virtual library is built, it is the most uneasy group according to the industry analysis, and the top two groups are the publication is a large library. Google's statement has made many publishing giants, including Penguin Group, Hubo Lins, Landon Bookstore. The online library and false card catalog established by the Google Library, is it to violate their interests and trigger the nervousness of dominoes in the global publishing industry. Webster, the implementation of the US Library Association, to largely reflect the concerns of these publishers. "We are very eager to know whether researchers, scholars and citizens can be gradually guided to use free public resources or prefer to publish The merchants pay the money.
