Just finished reading a report [1] from Michael Cairns, in which he predicts how Google will license the Google Books database to libraries.
I thought the average price for academic libraries ($55k per year) was pretty low, honestly.
I'm curious if others have thought about how this might work, and would care to offer speculation (wild or otherwise) for how they see it shaking out.
