SNT Report: Hush is the Word on Google's Digitization Project

SNT Report: Hush is the Word on Google's Digitization Project quotes the Chicago Trubune:

Beyond vague talk about Google having developed a much more efficient process, the project's specifics are secret. At Harvard, for instance, Google won't allow reporters to visit or photograph the scanning currently being done -- of 40,000 volumes as a kind of pilot project, just to make sure the books don't get damaged or lost -- at the university library's 5-million-volume off-campus storage facility.
