DLF and if:book Ponder Mass Digitization Issues
The Digital Library Federation and if:book are seeking comments on a series of questions about mass digitization issues that they will raise in invited brainstorming sessions as part of a project they are calling "The Really Modern Library."
Here's a suggestion: use CommentPress or a wiki to further refine ideas as the project evolves.
