UM: Google Books

By

The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports on the status of five-year-old copyright lawsuit against Google, which is digitizing books in the library collections of the University of Minnesota, the University of Michigan and other institutions. The article on the Google Books project quotes Jack Bernard, a UM law professor and assistant general counsel: “We can fight about this copyright issue for a long time as long as the books are preserved. The public good is that we are not letting these works disappear.” [Source]
