Fall 2021 Virtual Event Opening & Along Came Google Panel
Channel: CNI: Coalition for Networked Information
Date: 08/12/2021

Roger Schonfeld, Ithaka S+R
Deanna Marcum, Ithaka S+R

Deanna Marcum and Roger Schonfeld of Ithaka S+R have recently published “Along Came Google”, the first in-depth study of the move to digitize collections of books at scale, tracing this work through the Google Books program and the creation of HathiTrust. This series of efforts have been of central concern to CNI’s work and took on new importance during the pandemic. There are enormous lessons here about the strategies for organizing and operating cross-organizational collaborations, the roles of commercial collaborators, and much that we can learn in thinking about future large-scale digital community investments. Clifford Lynch will engage Deanna and Roger in a discussion of some of the themes and findings developed in their book.
