This afternoon's program at 1pm will cover digitalization efforts in libraries during the 1-2pm hour. http://www.sciencefriday.com/pages/2007/May/hour1_051107.html Want to flip through the pages of every book in the world? Several efforts are working to digitize and make available online all the information that might be hiding on the shelves of libraries around the world. We'll talk to leaders in the digital libraries community, and talk about just how they intend to go about bringing every book published into the online world. Plus, this week scientists announced a new effort to create an online encyclopedia of life. Pulling information from labs, libraries, and museums around the world, the project aims to make a multimedia web page for every known species on the planet. We'll talk to one of the project's leaders. Call in with your questions and comments at 1-800-989-8255 (2-3 Eastern). James A. Karney, Director Waco-McLennan County Library 1717 Austin Ave. ~ Waco, Texas 76701 254-750-5946 ~ Fax 254-750-5940 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
