Some have viewed sthe ascendance of the digital library as some
kind of existential apocalypse, nothing less than the beginning of
the end for the traditional library. But Weiss, recognizing the
concept of the library as a "big idea" that has been implemented in
many ways over thousands of years, is no so gloomy. In this
thought-provoking and unabashedly optimistic book, he explores how
massive digital libraries are already adapting to society's needs,
and looks ahead to the massive digital libraries of tomorrow,
covering * The ahthor's criteria for defining massive digital
libraries * A history of Google books and the Very Large Digital
Library, with a refresher on the initial protests of the scholarly
communication community * Practices of massive digital libraries,
and how traditional libraries are evolving to integrate their
presence * A comparison of the collection development approaches of
Google Books and Hathi Trust * Library applications, such as MDL
for research in digital humanities, catalog integration through the
Google Book API, Culturenomics, and the Google Ngram viewer * Case
studies of library projects with Google Books, with analysis of
aspects such as legibility of scans, metadata accuracy, culture,
and diversity
