Mary Sue Coleman on Google Print

John Battelle points to an important speach given by University of Michigan president Mary Sue Coleman on Google Print. The full text of the speech can be found in this PDF.

Michigan is one of the schools involved in the Google book digitization project. Coleman spoke to Association of American Publishers, an organization that is currently suing Google to stop the project.

The speech is worth reading if you're interested in the future of libraries, information dissemination, archives, copyright, or the internet.
