Harvard Snubs Google's In-Copyright Book Scanning
Harvard University, which was one of the first to sign on to Google's book scanning project when it launched in 2004, is also one of the first to speak out against the recent settlement by refusing to allow in-copyright books to be scanned, reports to The Harvard Crimson.
"As we understand it, the settlement contains too many potential limitations on access to and use of the books by members of the higher education community and by patrons of public libraries," wrote University Library Director Robert C. Darnton in a letter to staff.
Darnton also says he is skeptical of the subscription pricing model that will emerge following last week's $125 million settlement with publishers and authors.
Another spokesman did say, however, that Harvard would consider participating if the deal contains more "reasonable terms" for the University.
