This article presents a Technology Forum that focuses on online archives and their role in academe. The forum brought together Daniel Greenstein, associate vice provost for scholarly information and university librarian at the California Digital Library of the University of California; Adam Smith, group business-product manager for the Google Book Search and Google Scholar programs; and Danielle Tiedt, general manager of Windows Live Premium Search. Scott Carlson, a senior reporter at The Chronicle, was the moderator. Excerpts from their introductory remarks are also presented. Both Google and Microsoft have digital files, and they want to make that information available when people use search engines. When they do a deal with a library, it gets copies of those digital files. The library can move forward into the next wave of making that content available to all its patrons, both inside and outside the university. Neither Microsoft nor Google is trying to make libraries obsolete.
