"The increased scrutiny on the part of the DOJ tells us that our concerns are resonating far beyond the library community," concurs Corey Williams, associate director in the office of government relations at the American Library Association.
Goliath Google facing off against a legion of librarians and, possibly, the U.S. Justice Department — now there's a fight.
