The Google Book. The Google The Google Book (ISBN 0192797352) was written by economist Vincent Cartwright Vickers in 1913 and is said to be a kind of children's monster book about a monster called Google that can howl.[1] The book has surrealist illustrations of various fictitious birds created by Vickers.
Vickers, whose extended family owned Vickers Limited, wrote the book while serving as a Governor of the Bank of England.[2] References[edit] External links[edit] The Google Book at Google Blogoscoped. Putting 600,000 Books Online: the Large-Scale Digitisation Partnership between the Austrian National Library and Google | Kaiser | LIBER Quarterly. Putting 600,000 Books Online: the Large-Scale Digitisation Partnership between the Austrian National Library and Google Max Kaiser Abstract In a public-private partnership with Google, the Austrian National Library is digitising its historical book holdings.
Some 600,000 volumes from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries will be digitised and made available free of charge. The project demonstrates that public-private partnerships can be successful in enabling our heritage institutions to provide large-scale access to their holdings, provided that such partnerships are not exclusive and free access is ensured. The article outlines the preparatory phase and work flows established in the project.

Koninklijke Bibliotheek and Google sign book digitisation agreement. More than 160.000 public domain books from the 18th and 19th centuries to be scanned and made freely available to public via Google Books, KB websites and Europeana Den Haag, 14 July 2010 - Bas Savenije, director general of the KB, national library of the Netherlands and Philippe Colombet, European Strategic Partnerships Manager at Google, signed an agreement today under which Google will digitise more than 160.000 out-of-copyright (public domain) books from the library's collection. The books will be fully searchable and accessible for free via Google Books, via the various KB websites and - at a later date - via the European Union's Europeana portal. The books to be scanned constitute the majority of the library's public domain collection, and form an important addition to the corpus of public domain books that has already been digitised and made searchable in Google Books.

Both parties made this widely known by means of their websites and via the press, and have consistently replied to questions about the content of the cooperative agreement. Following a request in the United Kingdom, which was granted, to make the details of the contract between the British Library and Google public on the grounds of the Freedom of Information Act, the KB has now received two WOB requests to disclose the content of its contract with Google. It is not customary for the KB to publish contracts with partners; at the same time there are no significant interests preventing public disclosure.

Publications Songwriters, Playwrights Side With Authors Guild Against Google 02/25/2013. Organizations representing songwriters, illustrators, playwrights and other writers are asking a federal appeals court to uphold an order allowing the Authors Guild to bring a class-action against Google for its book digitization project. The groups say in a friend-of-the-court brief filed last week that a class-action lawsuit is the only realistic means for many content creators to enforce their copyrights when their works are digitized without permission. The organizations add that a ruling denying the Authors Guild class-action status could "encourage technology providers to simply take first, and worry about the consequences later. " The coalition argues: "Without the ability to aggregate their claims against infringing technology providers, [we] fear that the exclusive rights that the copyright act promises will be illusory to all except the largest and best-heeled copyright owners.
" They are asking the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold an order entered last year by U.S. Publications Google Says Authors Guild Lawsuit Could Shred Modern Card Catalog 03/07/2013. A victory for the Authors Guild in its copyright infringement case against Google would do nothing less than destroy the "modern version of the card catalog," the search company argues in new court papers filed this week. "This case is about whether Google’s modern version of the card catalog -- a search tool that allows anyone with access to the Internet to search among millions of books -- can continue to exist," Google says. Google’s sweeping rhetoric comes in its latest round of papers stemming from its book digitization effort, which involves scanning library books and displaying snippets of some of them in its search engine, in response to queries. The company is currently appealing an order by U.S.
Circuit Court Judge Denny Chin allowing the Authors Guild to proceed with its case as a class-action lawsuit. Google argues that the Authors Guild isn't aligned with book authors and, therefore, shouldn't be able to proceed with a class-action.

Miljarden webpagina’s met informatie zijn door deze succesvolle zoekmachine op effectieve wijze toegankelijk gemaakt. Ook informatiespecialisten voeren hun dagelijkse al@dinwerkzaamheden veelal uit met behulp van Google. Google laat het niet bij het indexeren en toegankelijk maken van webpagina’s alleen. Voor de ontwikkelaars van Google is zelfs daarmee het doel nog niet bereikt, want krap 9 jaar na de oprichting van Google, komt het bedrijf met een dienst die het aantal geïndexeerde bronnen met een veelvoud zal doen vergroten: “Google Books, zoeken in en naar het gedrukte woord in boeken”.

The Google Book Search copyright settlement and the future of information—Part 2. By K. Reed 13 August 2009 The following is the conclusion of a two-part article on the Google Book Search settlement.
The first part was posted August 13. Who has criticized the settlement? During the period between Google’s announced settlement and the court’s final fairness hearing now scheduled for early October 2009, Judge Denny Chin has requested the submission of objections from members of the class (authors and publishers represented by the AG and AAP). Prominent among these are public libraries, educational and research institutions as well as those conducting their own book digitization projects.
On May 4, 2009, The American Library Association (ALA), the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) and the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), representing over 139,000 libraries and 350,000 librarians, filed an amicus brief on behalf of the plaintiffs.

1. I have a citation in Victorian Reformations to double-check. It's in The Month, one of the leading Victorian Catholic magazines, and appeared in 1866. Unfortunately, the copy I used is in the Huntington Library, which happens to be on the other side of the country; while I wouldn't mind being in California right now (it is, after all, thirty degrees outside), I fear that I can't really justify the plane ticket. 2. Luckily, as a general rule, things that appeared in 1866 are now out of copyright. Perhaps someone at Google scanned the right volume! 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. In all seriousness, this is now the umpteenth time that I've found a scan with a Google watermark that cannot be accessed in full text on Google, but can elsewhere.
Planet Google: How One's Company's All-Encompassing Vision Is Transforming Our Lives: Amazon.co.uk: Randall Stross. The phenomenon known as Google had its beginnings in a Stanford University dorm room. Graduate students Larry Page and Sergey Brin intended at first only to search web pages and index them. From the beginning, Google had no air of the corporate world about it. Their model is based in the engineering world: define a problem and it can be solved.
Their informal company slogan? Brin's and Page's vision was to organize all the world's information, and to do it strictly according to computer code that weights and ranks web pages to determine their places in search results. How do they pay for it? Planet Google: One Company's Audacious Plan To Organize Everything We Know is organized along product lines. "Cloud computing," or Software as a Service, refers to the concept of standard personal and office-type applications residing "in the cloud" -- on the web -- rather than on the user's PC.

Michigan_amendment.pdf (Objet application/pdf) JSBlog - Journal of a Southern Bookreader: MWDEU gone from Google Books! I just had a major bibliographic disappointment: I find that Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage, which for years has been available in full on Google Books, has been removed.
Alongside the full Oxford English Dictionary (which I can access via Devon Library Services) MWDEU is probably my favourite reference book. As the introduction says, it arranges in dictionary format a collection of "common problems of confused or disputed English usage" from a historical background and present-day usage. Despite being an American reference, it covers US and UK usage equally, and the neat aspect of it is that it's resolutely descriptive, often with page-long lists of citations to well-known authors to demonstrate that an allegedly wrong usage has actually been used widely by writers who knew their craft. I've noted over the years a few examples: I don't know why it's been removed from Google Books - perhaps too many people like me were using it rather than buying the print version?
- Ray. Oxford Google Books Project | Oxford Google Books Project. Background | Access to Oxford's Copies | Important Notes | Feedback Background In 2004, Oxford University entered into partnership with Google to scan the Bodleian Libraries' out-of-copyright holdings, in particular those from the 19th century. We were one of the original "big five" institutions to sign-up to Google's Library Partnership Project, and the first from outside the US.
The initial phase of this work completed in the summer of 2009, with several hundred thousand of our books being scanned and made available via Google Books ( Items were selected solely on their copyright status and suitability for scanning, and the works that have been digitized cover a wide range of languages, disciplines, and genres. They include the first English translation of Newton's "Mathematical principles of natural philosophy" from 1729, the first edition of Jane Austen's "Emma", and John Cassell's "Illustrated history of England".
