Google Librarian Central:

Endless summer Friday, July 11, 2008 9:28 AM Posted by Bethany Poole, Product Marketing Manager

As you may have noticed, we've taken a somewhat leisurely summer break here at Librarian Central. We've been thinking about how to best communicate with you, our audience, and as a result, we've decided to close this blog in order to focus on our newsletter.

We began our outreach to the librarian community with the intention of sharing information with you about Google. This includes information about our library partnerships, products that you might find useful and details about Google Book Search. We're still committed to these goals.

To that end, we're going to provide news, product features and other Google-related announcements through our Google Librarian Newsletter, which we'll send out every few months. The Newsletter has also been on holiday, but today it's back in full effect: you can read our current issue online, and if you're not already receiving the newsletter by email you can subscribe to it here.

As always, past editions are available to view at any time on the Google Librarian Central site. Working in tandem with this page is Google for Educators, a resource for information about how to use a wide range of Google tools. We'll use the Google for Educators page to post teaching tools like our posters and tip sheets.

We want to thank everyone who has read or commented on the blog, subscribed to the newsletter or sent us an email. We've learned a lot from you about the resources you're looking for, and we greatly appreciate that you've taken the time to guide us. We want to keep this dialogue open, so please stay in touch with us.

Enjoy your summer, in moderation of course. We look forward to sending you our next newsletter.

A book in progress by

Siva Vaidhyanathan

Siva Vaidhyanathan

This blog, the result of a collaboration between myself and the Institute for the Future of the Book, is dedicated to exploring the process of writing a critical interpretation of the actions and intentions behind the cultural behemoth that is Google, Inc. The book will answer three key questions: What does the world look like through the lens of Google?; How is Google's ubiquity affecting the production and dissemination of knowledge?; and how has the corporation altered the rules and practices that govern other companies, institutions, and states?
