Serendipitously and apropos to this topic on ~digitization of and online 
dissemination of librarial material~ by any one group or organization, 
even Google, C-SPAN 2 is right now televizing a talk on the topic. 
Recorded yesterday, and sure to repeat in future days.

I heard the $10.00 per book digitization figure mentioned. Mr. Karkoff, 
et al must have been in the audience. The lecture has mentioned how a 
modern bookmobile concept has/can yielded a $1.00 per book, for any 
book in its database, satellited in over a roof dish, how 
Carnegie-Mellon/India/China have teamed to carry out the bookmobile to 
actuality, etc. I could go on, suffice it to say, if you can catch the 
rebroadcast try and do so. It is -very- enlightening on the current 
state of this issue.
