From Siva Vaidhyanathan, Universities Are Vast Copy Machines–and That’s a Good Thing:

“Google is not a library. It is not a university. It is not a public service. It is a business. Too often we forget those distinctions. The project of creating, maintaining, and offering vast collections of digital material should be something that universities and libraries control, not something we depend on one company to handle.”
