Need for student research papers: Google library project and privacy

If you're a student looking to research an issue and want to make a difference, write about the privacy implications of the Google library research project. Send thoughtful papers backed by research in to this blog and we'll link to them. Comparisons with the Internet Archive Million Book Project would be useful.

I'm more alarmed about readers' privacy after reading Mike Mill's article in CQ than I was before, since I'm such a big fan of "don't be evil" Google.  My hope is that privacy concerns will be integral in the planning process.  I think every librarian and library student should read Mike Mills' article in CQ.  He has given permission to post his article here.
