Google Communicates With Its “Print Partners”

Thought you all might find the following letter of interest–it was sent to me as our card line is being scanned and will soon become a part of the Google Print program:

We’re excited about the progress and early success of Google
Print, and are very pleased to have your participation in the
program. As one of our partners, we’d like to let you know
about the latest Google Print expansion.

In keeping with our mission to organize the world’s
information, we have recently announced partnerships with a few
large libraries, including the University of Michigan and
Harvard University.

large libraries, including the University of Michigan and
Harvard University.

These library partnerships will make it
possible for Google to include millions of books in the Google
Print program, including those that are rare, out of print, or
generally unavailable outside of the library system.

Google respects the rights of copyright holders and the
tremendous creative effort of authors, which is why we will
only allow users to view the full texts of books that are in
the public domain.

Library books that are still under copyright
will show up in our search results, but will only include
bibliographic information and small text snippets. Like all
Google Print pages, these pages will include ‘Buy this Book’
links to booksellers.

We believe that the addition of these titles and information to
our search results will make Google Print even more useful for
users, ultimately driving more traffic to the books that you
have included in the program.

Please visit Google Print for examples
and more information.
