Peter Brantley is the Director of Digital Library Technologies for the California Digital Library (note that the blog that I reference has a different title, but I suspect that they are combining his current employer and a previous title, based on this page — though I could be mistaken, as well).
His recent blog post, Google and the Books, lamented the decision-making process that led to the Google Library Project deal with the UC libraries. He used a later post, Google Books: A Reprise with Clarity, to clarify his position, and set the record straight as to how he views Google.
Taken together, they are very interesting reading, and could stand as a guide for any library’s movement into digital partnerships.
