tag cloud of the google book deal
Submitted by jrjacobs on Wed, 2008-11-12 23:36.
I've been so busy lately (research time of the term, helping to organize the first ever Stanford Open Source (un)conference...) that I've neglected to comment on the Google Book Search Copyright Settlement. The library blogosphere is abuzz, so I won't add anything else, just point to some people I trust who've tracked on the Deal much closer than me (like Peter Brantley, Karen Coyle, John Wilkins, and James Grimmelmann; Siva Vaidhyanathan has links to them all plus some of his own commentary!) But I DID want to show the tag cloud of the agreement. Notice anything?

Articles on Google Book Settlement

I gathered some up and posted them on my personal blog.
The word "book" is pretty
The word "book" is pretty small. The word "copyright" even smaller. You'd think from the prominent words it was a settlement between Google and libraries.
ARL analysis of google book deal
The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) has an analysis of the deal as well. From the ARL analysis, it seems clear that the deal was a win/win for google and publishers only. Both of them will 1) keep strict control of content and its usage (fair use be damned) and 2) make a lot of $$. Students, teachers, researchers and the general public, on the surface, get the appearance of access to a large corpus of digital content, but that access and usage will be severely limited. Additionally, the services that libraries have traditionally relied on to expand access -- interlibrary loan and course reserves -- will be severely eroded by this deal.
I'd really appreciate it if folks would tag any analysis they find with the delicious tag Googlebookdeal. Thanks!
