Google's pact with libraries
NEW YORK,
DEC. 14.
The popular Internet search engine Google has reached an agreement with four universities and one public library to scan their books and make them available the digitised contents of the same, aiming to challenge the competitors Yahoo and Microsoft.
The California-based Google sealed the agreement with Harvard University, Oxford University, The University of Michigan, Stanford University and The New York Public Library. The project will take around five years to be completed and will deliver a database of volumes that Google users can search, according to the Forbes Magazine. Users will be able to download entire volumes of books, which are not under copyright protection.
However, books protected under copyright will be excerpted at varying lengths, depending on whether Google has agreements with their publishers. — PTI
