Google released an update today to its Librarian Central blog, heeding the complaints of some librarians that the company has been ignoring them. The blog announcement? Google is closing the blog but will communicate with librarians via a newsletter that it will send out “every few months.” The update provided a link to the issue released today. It includes an article on organizing medical records with Google and Google Book Search, its massive book digitization project.
“We want to keep this dialog open, so please stay in touch with us,” the post reads.—Andrea L. Foster
