U-M Statement on Google Library Project
<http://www.umich.edu/news/?Releases/2005/Sep05/r092105>
Statement from James Hilton, University of Michigan associate provost and
interim librarian, regarding the lawsuit against the Google library
project:
"This project represents an enormous leap forward in the public's ability
to search and find knowledge. Throughout history, enormous breakthroughs
in technology have always created challenges, but we cannot lose sight of
the tremendous benefits this project will bring for society.
"The Google library project will transform the way we do research and
scholarship. For the first time, everyone will be able to search the
written record of human knowledge. It also allows libraries to create a
digital archive that preserves this material for all time. Only libraries
are tasked by the public with the responsibility of archiving all the
world's written works. No other entity can take on this responsibility.
"We continue to be enthusiastic about our partnership with Google, and we
are confident that this project complies with copyright law. The
overarching purpose of copyright law is to promote progress in society. In
doing so, it is always a balancing act between the limited rights of the
author and the rights of the public.
