What’s an Author to Do?
Google, Digitizations and the Future of Books
November 2, 2006
Siva Vaidhyanathan
Assistant Professor
Culture and Communication
New York University
Professor Vaidhyanathan’s talk will explore the ways that large-scale digitization projects such as Google Book Search affect those who research and write books. It will examine the ways full-text searches might affect research, how widespread access to digitized books will alter market demands for authors, and how technological changes could alter the modes of composition and distribution of books in the near future. Critical of Google for its lack of quality control, his talk will argue that the public debate (such as that between John Updike and Kevin Kelly) has been misguided and misplaced. The real questions for authors will be how we will gather and represent the raw materials for our work.
