Artifact: Google Books Project
This is a paper I wrote for LIS502, Libraries, Information and Society about a fictional business owner who wants to keep abreast of all the current developments and information about the Google Books project so he can determine whether his paper company is in danger of closing due to the trickle down effect.

Reflection
I learned a lot while doing the research to write this paper. I learned about the origins of Google Books, as well as the social and ethical dilemmas surrounding the project, mostly in regards to copyright infringement and how their efforts affect not only the authors, but also libraries and possibly paper companies in the future. I also learned about myriad ways to stay on top of information published on the web, be it using RSS feeds or Google Alerts (to name a few). This new knowledge will help me teach students about the ethical use of information and the controversies surrounding the topic.
