Public-Private Mass DigitizationAppearance vs. reality
They are non-exclusive deals – not really
The private partner bears all the costs not really
Institutions are free to serve the content to users not really
They are only limited term deals not really

“There’s an illusion being created that all the world’s knowledge is on the web, but we haven’t begun to glimpse what is out there in local archives and libraries. Material that is not digitized risks being neglected as it would not have been in the past, virtually lost to the great majority of potential users.” - Ed Ayers
Professor of History and Dean of the College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia
– a leading authority on digital scholarship
