Just some of the engaging items to cross my screen so far this month.

• There is a nice post on the Wired Campus blog summing up reasons why the recent reversal of the Georgia State ruling may not be all bad for libraries. The item highlights points from two experts whose copyright news-related writing I’ve mentioned before in Blog Buzz: Kevin Smith of Duke, and Nancy Sims at the University of Minnesota.
• CNN passed along news from Engadget that Google is testing a Chat with a Doctor option for medical symptom searches. This raises many questions and could be the subject of a very long in-depth post touching on various complex issues. Even if issues of privacy, quality and regulation were set aside, wouldn’t a paid chat service be taking advantage of the health searcher’s anxiety that it is supposedly intended to ameliorate?
• Forbes’ Matthew Herper covered Leslie Stahl’s recent report on 60 Minutes. A number of MSK doctors who have been vocal on this issue were in Stahl’s report.
• In news of the downright despicable, people with no medical expertise have been self publishing books about Ebola treatment and prevention on Amazon according the to Washington Post.
