The landscape of mass digitization and digital library initiatives has undergone seismic shifts since the announcement of the Google Library Project rattled the library word in December of 2004. This program will bring together the project managers from Google and the original library partners for a discussion about how the project has developed, the new questions and possibilities it has opened, the criticisms it has weathered and the future of mass digitization in libraries.
