Google books, some regrets
Peter Brantley has a very interesting post sharing some reflections on the Google book scanning deals that have been made with the participating libraries. From what I learned so far is that Google dealt with the libraries on a one to one basis, and they were sworn to secrecy. They all got their individual deals, not knowing each other terms.
Peter, the previous Director of Digital Library Technologies of CDL and current Director of the Digital Library Federation, shares some of his doubts about the deals that have been struck so far. And the way it has all been established.
Interesting reading.
