True, Google will give every public and university library one terminal where
readers can access its entire collection. But these machines won’t be able to
download or print texts—and you can imagine the lines. Libraries that want full
access to all the books in Google will have to pay for the privilege, as well as
for every download.
- Only ONE terminal in each institution. It is even worse than some of the existing database licenses. At least they allow access across the institution. - on 2009-09-21
Add Sticky Note
Google states that users can now search “the full text of some
seven million books.” Some report that the system as a whole already contains
ten million. Either way, Google is on its way to surpassing the 13.8 million
volumes of the British Library, which has been collecting in one form or another
for centuries, and, eventually, even the thirty-two million in our Library of
Congress. And unlike those vast, material collections, imprisoned in great
buildings, Google’s is everywhere.
