Building a free digital library for the world: Brewster Kahle on TED.com

Brewster Kahle is building a truly huge digital library — every book ever published, every movie ever released, all the strata of web history … It’s all free to the public — unless someone else gets to it first. At the 2007 EG conference, he talks through the challenges, especially, of converting printed books to scanned pages (call it the “10-cent problem”). (Recorded December 2007 in Los Angeles, California. Duration: 20:05.)

Watch Brewster Kahle’s 2007 talk on TED.com, where you can download this TEDTalk, rate it, comment on it and find other talks and performances from our archive of 290 TEDTalks — including more talks on libraries.
