Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

I think means I've turned into the goth girl version of Giles.

Mmmm, what a happy thought.

Engaging with the emails makes them think they have valid points, and they don't. Ass 'em in the ear.

I have to write a 3,000 word paper on the following topic:

"Google Book Search changes everything.” Does it?

Yes, that's all the info I've been given. I'm gonna go with no, it doesn't change everything. It gives broader access but still points users to local libraries for the actual book. It also provides snippets from what I understand (not the full text). Feel free to give me more reasons so that I can friggin start writing this stupid thing. Signed, totally not in the mood.

Yes, I'm sure I do, but it's also going to have my own opinions as well.

Here are the notes I have so far:

My thesis is that Google Book Search won’t “change everything”; rather it will make discovering and locating books easier and give wider access to the world’s books to users. One aim of Google Book Search is to help users find a copy of a book at a local library (footnote, Google Book Search and Libraries). So Google Book Search is acting as a larger, easier to navigate card catalog, something that has been in existence for many decades. This isn’t a new idea, just a new way of cataloging and making information available.

There are also still legal issues with Google Book Search (footnote, Publishers sue Google over book search project).

GC, my experience is that for books out of copyright - most things published before 1923 - the whole book is available. It's a big wow, I tell you. Don't have to leave the office!

So would you agree that it "changes everything?" Good to get different perspectives...

Which, now that I've actually written that out, I think means I've turned into the goth girl version of Giles.

You'd be the Best OFC ever.

And Dean would so totally just follow you around all wide-eyed and moonstruck, because you are Older and Bossing Him Around, which he totally digs AND you have a bosom of doom, which he also totally digs, while Sam rolls his eyes and makes pissy faces because of it.

PS, I think there's some smudged eyeliner going on in the pictures I linked to last night. Which, err. Yes. Mama like.
