Yes, I'm sure I do, but it's also going to have my own opinions as well.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

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.

Hee! I think that's one of the oddest compliments I've ever gotten. I really like it.
while Sam rolls his eyes and makes pissy faces because of it.
Yeah, but I'd start calling him emo-boy, and ask him if he wanted to listen to The Smiths.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'd say google books is considerably more than a card catalog -- even with recent books, the content is searchable (you just can't read the whole thing straight through unless it's public domain). And even when online catalogs don't make me beat my head against a wall until it bleeds, they're still only searching the metadata; that's a pretty profound change for how people search, or even what information they think they're searching for.
But I still think "changes everything" is just a stupidly broad statement.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Hey Jilli...I was talking to my friend last night and asked me if "emo" meant anything to me and I laughed and said, "yeah". Then she asked if "cutter" meant anything. I said, "Well, the peolpe that cut themselves to feel pain etc etc etc." and she said no that it was a goth thing. I'd never heard of it. Have you? Can you shed light?
