[Air-L] Google "imperialism"

[Michael Zimmer]

Along with Siva's "Googlization of Everything" blog and Ralf's kind  
suggestion of my own (thanks), you might also want to check out the  
recent issue of the Journal of Business & Technology Law which was  
dedicated to Google.
<http://www.law.umaryland.edu/journal/jbtl/current_issue.asp>

Further, Dr. Amanda Spink and I recently edited a book of a broad  
range of scholarship on search engines, much of which discusses  
Google: "Web Search: Multidisciplinary Perspectives" (it is pricey -  
ask your library to acquire it :)
<http://www.springer.com/computer/database+management+%26+information 
+retrieval/book/978-3-540-75828-0>

The associated bibliographies from these texts might prove fruitful,  
as well as the bibliography of ethical and privacy dimensions of web  
search engines I've started to assemble here: <http:// 
michaelzimmer.org/2007/06/30/scholarship-on-privacy-and-search-engines/>


Good luck!
Michael.
