The NPR pointer listed takes you to the current days' NPR programs, which
changes every day.
The permanent link re: the Google broadcast ("NPR : Google's Plan Prompts a
Question: What's on the Web?") is

My first post to this very interesting list! I've been lurking for a few
weeks now. I'll introduce myself at the end...

Another must-hear is Brewster Kahle's discussion at the Library of Congress
(December 13, 2004 show):
http://www.c-span.org/congress/digitalfuture.asp
I've had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Brewster. He's a
wonderful person and he has realized many of his ideals already. His work
is heartening and inspiring.
Let me introduce myself - I have the pleasure of working with Jerry McGann
at ARP - http://www.patacriticism.org. At heart I'm a developer, but in
the past few years I've expanded my horizons into article and book writing,
and lots of speaking gigs. Most recently and most relevantly to this list,
I'm the co-author of Lucene in Action.
Lucene is a very fast and scalable search engine on which many applications
are being built. I have developed, though not online yet, a Lucene search
interface into the Rossetti Archive and am also building, to be launched
very soon, a "search inside" feature for the Lucene book itself. You can
see a preview here: http://www.lucenebook.com

Hello,
I would like to refer to that on-screen Scandanavian movie short showing a
technical support staffer training a user in how to use the new technology
of the codex. I would be greatly appreciative if someone could send me the
URL.
I would also like to mention, as a librarian involved in several digitizing
projects, that the problems with OCR and fonts, copyright, "page-turning"
softwareand patron skills with search engines have us all very skeptical
about how quickly and effectively the Google lilbrary project can be effected.
