Extending the argument further, anybody including shishyas can also do the same thing.
That provides enough Gurus for shishyas to choose from including traditional shishyas who can also be Gurus.
I, as a shishya, learn a lot now-a-days from many UG and Graduate theses available in many University sites.

Subject: Re: [MTC Global] Google cannot replace teachers, says UGC Vice-Chairman
Hi,
If the teachers impart only information then Google is a better alternative. Dictating notes from text books which are available online is nothing but sharing information. In fact, even the notes are now available online at various student forums.
In that context, who is a Guru?
The respected VC is absolutely correct in stating that only Gurus can provide proper direction and enable the students to gain knowledge by internalizing and understanding the information they receive from various sources.
The ground reality is whether we have Gurus in our education system and if yes, are they the exception or the rule?
It would be in the better interests of our educational system and our nation is we accepted the short coming of our system and the fact that there are very few of even no Gurus around. It would help us change for the better instead of hiding behind the Guru tag.
Bye
