It's a good little broadcast. 
  To hear it on RealPlayer, try this (all one line)--
http://play.rbn.com/?url=livecon/kcrw/g2demand/tp/tp041214Reading_the_Fine_P
ri.rm&start=00:40:47.940&end=00:49:21.890&proto=rtsp

or perhaps more easily, go to the page at
http://kcrw.com/cgi-bin/db/kcrw.pl?show_code=tp&tmplt_type=Program

-- where you'll see the summary below.
  Clicking on the first two words plays the program.

Reporter�s Notebook: Google Goes to the Library
Oxford University, for centuries the seat of learning in the western world,
is lending some of its oldest books to Google so they can be scanned and
read on the Internet. Harvard, Stanford, the University of Michigan and New
York Public Library are also participating. Ronald Milne, acting director
of Oxford�s Bodleian Library, and Wired magazine's Paul Boutin discuss the
project, which will allow virtual access to 1,500,000 volumes from the 19th
century. 

Best, Ted
