Technology & the Future of the Book

[Recorded: March 1, 2009]
Digital technology has created unprecedented changes in the way we live and work today. To consider these transformations in American society and culture, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences organized a symposium on the Impact of Information Technology on Society in March 2009
In one session of this symposium, hosted at the Computer History Museum, a distinguished panel discussed "Information Technology and the Future of Books, Publishing, and Libraries." The questions considered included: As publishing continues to move toward a digital model, what happens to libraries and their clients, researchers, and students? What forces are shaping the future of the printed book? What will be the future of book publishing?

The panelists were:
- Edward Feigenbaum, Kumagai Professor in the School of Engineering, Emeritus, Stanford University
- John Warnock, Co-Chairman of the Board, Adobe Systems Inc.
- John Hollar, President and CEO, Computer History Museum
- Daniel J. Clancy, Engineering Director, Google Book Search Project
- Michael A. Keller, University Librarian, Stanford University
- Donald A. B. Lindberg, Director, National Library of Medicine

The Computer History Museum thanks the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for making this video available.
