The Institute for the Future of the Book is an interesting organization. The link titled, “The Googlization of Everything", provided opinions and current events relating to Google’s affect on our personal and political lives. It expanded my view of Google as more than just a convenient research tool. Librarians should be aware of issues of privacy, political policy and digitization. These issues shape the context of our professional lives.
