Google Books (previously known as Google Book Search
and Google Print) is a service from
Google Inc.
that searches the full text of books and magazines that Google has
scanned, converted to text using
optical character recognition, and stored in its digital database.[1]
The service was formerly known as Google Print when it was introduced at
the
Frankfurt Book Fair in October 2004. Google's Library Project, also
now known as Google Book Search, was announced in December 2004.
Results from Google Books show up in both
Google Web Search and the dedicated Google Books site
(books.google.com). Up to three results from the Google Books index may
be displayed, if relevant, above other search results in Google Web
Search.
A click on a result from Google Books opens an interface in which the
user may view pages from the book, if out of copyright or if the
copyright owner has given permission. Books in the public domain are
available in "full view" and free for download. For in-print books where
permission has been granted, the number of viewable pages is limited to
a "preview" set by a variety of access restrictions and security
measures, some based on user-tracking.[2]
For books where permission for a "preview" has been refused, only
permission for "snippets" (two to three lines of text) may be permitted,
but the full text of the book is searchable on this limited basis. Where
the owner of a book cannot be identified, a "snippet" view may be
implemented. For other books that have neither a "full view", nor
"preview",the text is not searchable at all, and Google Books provides
no identification of content beyond the book title. For this
reason, Google Books searches are an unreliable indicator of the
prevalence of specific usages or terms, because many authoritative works
fall into the unsearchable category.
Most scanned works are no longer in print or commercially available.[3]
For those which are, the site provides links to the website of the
publisher and booksellers.
Many of the books are scanned using the
Elphel
323 camera[4][5]
at a rate of 1,000 pages per hour.[6]
The scanning process is subject to errors. For example, some pages are
unreadable, or upside down, or in the wrong order. It happens that some
pages of one book appear interleaved with those of another, or an entire
book may be attributed to the wrong title altogether.[citation
needed] Book information such as authors,
publishers, dates and so on, may be incorrect or abbreviated
incoherently.[citation
needed] Very commonly, the list of chapter headings
and/or the book index is only partially presented. Although at one time
Google provided feedback links to report these problems, the mechanisms
for readers to provide this feedback have become more and more curtailed
as time goes on.[citation
needed]
Timeline
2004
December 2004 Google signaled an extension to its Google Print
initiative known as the Google Print Library Project.[7]
Google announced partnerships with several high-profile university and
public libraries, including the
University of Michigan,
Harvard (Harvard
University Library),
Stanford (Green
Library),
Oxford (Bodleian
Library), and the
New York Public Library. According to press releases and university
librarians, Google plans to digitize and make available through its
Google Books service approximately 15 million volumes within a decade.
The announcement soon triggered controversy, as publisher and author
associations challenged Google's plans to digitize, not just books in
the public domain, but also titles still under copyright.
2005
September–October 2005 Two lawsuits against Google charge that
the company has not respected
copyrights and has failed to properly compensate authors and
publishers. One is a class action suit on behalf of authors (Authors
Guild v. Google, Sept. 20 2005) and the other is a civil lawsuit brought
by five large publishers and the
Association of American Publishers. (McGraw
Hill v. Google, Oct. 19 2005)[8][9][10][11][12][13]
November 2005: Google changed the name of this service from
Google Print to Google Book Search.[14]
Its program enabling publishers and authors to include their books in
the service was renamed "Google Books Partner Program"[15]
and the partnership with libraries became
Google Books Library Project.
2006
August 2006: The
University of California System announced that it would join the
Books digitization project. This includes a portion of the 34 million
volumes within the approximately 100 libraries managed by the System.[16]
September 2006: The
Complutense University of Madrid becomes the first Spanish-language
library to join the Google Books Library Project.[17]
October 2006: The
University of Wisconsin–Madison announced that it would join the
Book Search digitization project along with the
Wisconsin Historical Society Library. Combined, the libraries have
7.2 million holdings.[18]
November 2006: The
University of Virginia joins the project. Its libraries contain more
than five million volumes and more than 17 million manuscripts, rare
books and archives.[19]
2007
January 2007: The
University of Texas at Austin announced that it would join the Book
Search digitization project. At least one million volumes will be
digitized from the University's 13 library locations.
March 2007: The
Bavarian State Library announced a partnership with Google to scan
more than a million public domain and out-of-print works in German as
well as English, French, Italian, Latin, and Spanish.[20]
May 2007: A book digitizing project partnership was announced
jointly by Google and the
Cantonal and University Library of Lausanne.[21]
May 2007: The
Boekentoren Library of
Ghent University will participate with Google in digitizing and
making digitized versions of 19th century books in the French and Dutch
languages available online.[22]
June 2007: The
Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) announced that its
twelve member libraries would participate in scanning 10 million books
over the course of the next six years.[23]
July 2007:
Keio University became Google's first library partner in
Japan
with the announcement that they would digitize at least 120,000 public
domain books.[24]
August 2007: Google announced that it would digitize up to
500,000 both copyrighted and public domain items from
Cornell University Library. Google will also provide a digital copy
of all works scanned to be incorporated into the university's own
library system.[25]
September 2007: Google added a feature that allows users to
share snippets of books that are in the public domain. The snippets may
appear exactly as they do in the scan of the book or as plain text.[26]
September 2007: Google debuts a new feature called "My
Library" which allows users to create personal customized libraries,
selections of books that they can label, review, rate, or full-text
search.[27]
December 2007:
Columbia University was added as a partner in digitizing public
domain works.[28]
2008
May 2008:
Microsoft tapers off and plans to end
its scanning project which reached 750,000 books and 80 million
journal articles.[29]
October 2008: A
settlement is reached between the publishing industry and Google
after two years of negotiation. Google agrees to compensate authors and
publishers in exchange for the right to make millions of books available
to the public.[8][30]
November 2008: Google reaches the 7 million book mark for
items scanned by Google and by their publishing partners. 1 million are
in full preview mode and 1 million are fully viewable and downloadable
public domain works. About five million are currently
out of print.[3][31][32]
December 2008: Google announces the inclusion of magazines in
Google Books. Titles include
New York Magazine,
Ebony,
Popular Mechanics, and others.[33][34]
2009
May 2009: At the annual
BookExpo convention in New York, Google signaled its intent to
introduce a program that would enable publishers to sell digital
versions of their newest books direct to consumers through Google.[35]
In December 2009 a French court shut down the scanning of
copyrighted books published in France saying it violated copyright laws.
It was the first major legal loss for the scanning project.[36]
2010
April 2010: Visual artists were not included in the previous
lawsuit and settlement, and are the plaintiff groups in another law
suit, and say they intend to bring more than just Google Books under
scrutiny. “The new class action,” reads the statement, “goes beyond
Google’s Library Project, and includes Google’s other systematic and
pervasive infringements of the rights of photographers, illustrators and
other visual artists.”
[37]
May 2010 : It is reported that Google will launch a digital
book store termed as
Google Editions.[38]
It will compete with Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple and other electronic
book retailers with its very own e-book store. Unlike others, Google
Editions will be completely online and will not require a specific
device (such as kindle, Nook, iPad, etc.).
June 2010: Google passes 12 million books scanned.[39]
August 2010: It was announced that Google intends to scan all
known existing 129,864,880 books by the end of the decade, accounting to
over 4 billion digital pages and 2 trillion words in total.[39]
December 2010: Google eBooks (Google Editions) is launched in
the US.[40]
2011
March 2011: A federal judge rejects the
settlement reached between the publishing industry and Google.[41]
2012
March 2012 Google passes 20 million books scanned.[42]
Google Books Library Project participants
The number of participating institutions has grown since the
inception of the
Google Books Library Project;[7]
The University of Mysore has been mentioned in many media reports as
being a library partner.[43][44]
They are not, however, listed as a partner by Google.[45]

Scanning of Books
The Google Books initiative has been hailed for its potential to
offer unprecedented access to what may become the largest online body of
human knowledge[46][47]
and promoting the
democratization of knowledge,[48]
but it has also been criticized for potential copyright violations.[48][8]
As of March 2012, the number of scanned books was over 20 million,
but the scanning process has slowed down.[42]
Google estimated in 2010 that there were about 130 million unique books
in the world,[49][39]
and stated that it intended to scan all of them by the end of the
decade.[39]
Copyright infringement, fair use and related issues
The Google Books database continues to grow. For users outside the
United States, though, Google must be sure that the work in question
is indeed out of copyright under local laws. According to a member of
the Google Books Support Team, "Since whether a book is in the public
domain can often be a tricky legal question, we err on the side of
caution and display at most a few snippets until we have determined that
the book has entered the public domain."[50]
Users outside the United States can however access a large number of
public domain books scanned by Google using copies stored on the
Internet Archive.[51]
The publishing industry and writers' groups have criticized the
project's inclusion of snippets of copyrighted works as infringement. In
late 2005 the
Authors Guild of America and
Association of American Publishers separately sued
Google,
citing "massive
copyright infringement." Google countered that its project
represented a
fair
use and is the digital age equivalent of a
card catalog with every word in the publication indexed.[8]
Despite Google taking measures to provide full text of only works in
public domain, and providing only a searchable summary online for books
still under copyright protection, publishers maintain that Google has no
right to copy full text of books with copyrights and save them, in large
amounts, into its own database.[52]
Other lawsuits followed but in 2006 a German lawsuit was withdrawn.[53]
In June 2006, Hervé de la Martinière,[54]
a French publisher known as La Martinière and
Éditions du Seuil,[55]
announced its intention to sue Google France.[56]
In 2009, the Paris Civil Court awarded
€300,000
(approximately US$430,000) in damages and interest and ordered Google to
pay €10,000 a day until it removes the publisher's books from its
database.[55][57]
The court wrote, "Google violated author copyright laws by fully
reproducing and making accessible" books that Seuil owns without its
permission[55]
and that Google "committed acts of breach of copyright, which are of
harm to the publishers".[54]
Google said it will appeal.[55]
Syndicat National de l'Edition, which joined the lawsuit, said Google
has scanned about 100,000 French works under copyright.[55]
In December 2009, Chinese author
Mian
Mian filed a civil lawsuit for $8,900 against Google for scanning
her novel, Acid Lovers. This is the first such lawsuit to be
filed against Google in China.[58]
Also, in November that year, the China Written Works Copyright Society
(CWWCS) accused Google of scanning 18,000 books by 570 Chinese writers
without authorization. Google agreed on Nov 20 to provide a list of
Chinese books it had scanned, but the company refused to admit having
"infringed" copyright laws.[59]
In March 2007, Thomas Rubin, associate general counsel for copyright,
trademark, and trade secrets at Microsoft, accused Google of violating
copyright law with their book search service. Rubin specifically
criticized Google's policy of freely copying any work until notified by
the copyright holder to stop.[60]
Siva Vaidhyanathan, associate professor of Media Studies and Law at
the
University of Virginia has argued[61]
that the project poses a danger for the doctrine of
fair
use, because the fair use claims are arguably so excessive that it
may cause judicial limitation of that right.[62]
It can also be said that, because rights are almost always inherently
limited in some way, judicial consideration per se, including
limitation, of the principle poses no "threat" at all (and might produce
benefit through articulated consideration and delineation - that would
have not otherwise occurred - of the principle).[citation
needed] Because Author's Guild v. Google did
not go to court, the fair use dispute is left unresolved.
Google licensing of public domain works is also an area of concern
due to using of
digital watermarking techniques with the books. Some published works
that are in the public domain, such as all
works created by the U.S. Federal government, are still treated like
other works under copyright, and therefore locked after 1922.[63]
Settlement
agreement
The
Authors Guild, the publishing industry and Google entered into a
settlement agreement October 28, 2008, with Google agreeing to pay a
total of $125 million to rights-holders of books they had scanned, to
cover the plaintiffs' court costs, and to create a
Book Rights Registry. The settlement was set to be approved by the
court sometime after October 2009.[8]
Reaction to the settlement was mixed, with Harvard Library, one of the
original contributing libraries to Google Library, choosing to withdraw
its partnership with Google if "more reasonable terms" could not be
found.[64]
As part of the $125 million settlement signed in October 2008, Google
created a Google Book Settlement web site that went active on February
11, 2009. This site allowed authors and other rights holders of
out-of-print (but copyright) books to submit a claim by June 5, 2010.[65]
In return they were to receive $60 per full book, or $5 to $15 for
partial works.[65]
In return, Google was to be able to index the books and display snippets
in search results, as well as up to 20% of each book in preview mode.[65]
Google was also to be able to show ads on these pages and make available
for sale digital versions of each book.[65]
Authors and copyright holders were to receive 63 percent of all
advertising and e-commerce revenues associated with their works.[65]
In the US, several organizations who took no part of the settlement,
like the
American Society of Journalists and Authors, criticized the
settlement fundamentally.[66]
Moreover, the New York book settlement is not restricted to US authors,
but relevant to authors of the whole world. This led to objections even
on the level of some European governments and critical voices in many
European newspapers.[67]
American author
Ursula K. Le Guin has launched a petition against the settlement,
which was signed by almost 300 authors.[68]
In October 2009, Google countered ongoing critics by stating that its
scanning of books and putting them online would protect the world's
cultural heritage; Google co-founder
Sergey Brin stated, "The famous
Library of Alexandria burned three times, in 48 BC, AD 273 and
AD 640, as did the
Library of Congress, where a fire in 1851 destroyed two-thirds of
the collection. I hope such destruction never happens again, but history
would suggest otherwise."[69]
This characterization was rebuked by Pam Samuelson, UC Berkeley
Professor of Law[70]
saying "Libraries everywhere are terrified that Google will engage in
price-gouging when setting prices for institutional subscriptions to GBS
contents ... Brin forgot to mention another significant difference
between GBS and traditional libraries: their policies on patron privacy.
... Google has been unwilling to make meaningful commitments to protect
user privacy. Traditional libraries, by contrast, have been important
guardians of patron privacy."[71]
Others have denounced the settlement for neglecting to protect
reader privacy.[72]
On March 22, 2011, U.S. Circuit Judge Denny Chin issued a ruling on
the amended settlement agreement, rejecting it. From the ruling: "While
the digitization of books and the creation of a universal digital
library would benefit many, the ASA would simply go too far. It would
permit this class action - - which was brought against defendant Google
Inc. ("Google") to challenge its scanning of books and display of
"snippets" for on-line searching - - to implement a forward-looking
business arrangement that would grant Google significant rights to
exploit entire books, without permission of the copyright owners.
Indeed, the ASA would give Google a significant advantage over
competitors, rewarding it for engaging in wholesale copying of
copyrighted works without permission, while releasing claims well beyond
those presented in the case. Accordingly, and for the reasons more fully
discussed below, the motion for final approval of the ASA is denied."
[73]
The
Wall Street Journal commented on the practical impact of this
ruling saying that: "Judge Chin's ruling changes little for Google
users. About two million books that are in the public domain, such as
works of William Shakespeare, currently can be viewed free on the Google
Books site. [...] Google Books users currently can view long previews of
another two million books that are in copyright and in print, thanks to
agreements between Google and tens of thousands of publishers that were
separate from the legal settlement. Millions more books that are in
copyright but out of print are currently available in Google Books in a
shorter 'snippet view.' Had the settlement been approved, users would
have been able to see longer previews and potentially buy those books."[74]
Language issues
Some European politicians and intellectuals have criticized Google's
effort on "language-imperialism" grounds. They argue that because the
vast majority of books proposed to be scanned are in English, it will
result in disproportionate representation of natural languages in the
digital world. German, Russian, French, and Spanish, for instance, are
popular languages in scholarship. The disproportionate online emphasis
on English, however, could shape access to historical scholarship, and,
ultimately, the growth and direction of future scholarship. Among these
critics is
Jean-Noël Jeanneney, the former president of the
Bibliothèque nationale de France.[75]
Google Books versus Google Scholar
While Google Books has digitized large numbers of journal back
issues, its scans do not include the
metadata required for identifying specific articles in specific
issues. This has led the makers of
Google Scholar to start their own program to digitize and host older
journal articles (in agreement with their publishers).[76]
