A new initiative called AlouetteCanada is designed to bring together disparate digitization efforts from around Canada into a single online location. Many universities and museums in the country maintain small-scale digitization efforts of material relevant to the history and culture of Canada. Much of this content is inaccessible to most people, however, according to Carole Moore, chief librarian of the University of Toronto, one of the universities participating in AlouetteCanada. The University of Alberta and the University of Brunswick are also part of the project, and Moore said hundreds of other organizations could conceivably contribute material. Ernie Ingles, chief librarian at the University of Alberta, said AlouetteCanada is, in some ways, the antithesis of Google's book-scanning project. Although Google is making content available publicly, he said, "it is making that content available in a commercial way." Ingles questioned whether Google would be around forever to make that content available. Chronicle of Higher Education, 21 June 2006 (sub. req'd) http://chronicle.com/daily/2006/06/2006062101t.htm
