AAUP Reacts To Google

by Staff -- Publishers Weekly, 8/29/2005

In a statement released last week, the board of the Association of American University Publishers said that while Google's decision to temporarily suspend scanning of copyrighted works in its Print for Libraries program and to add an opt-out option was welcome, these steps did not go far enough to address copyright concerns. "In its essentials, though, the revised policy is virtually the same as the previous one." AAUP says it finds the library project worthwhile and called on Google to come to the table with stakeholders to find common ground.
