OCLC's Ricky Erway has written a nice "beginner's guide" to the proposed Google Book Search settlement, from the library perspective largely. only 4 pages long!
http://hangingtogether.org/?p=596 "Now I'm not a lawyer (and I've had that confirmed by our folks in legal) and not even a little lawyer-like, but I read the settlement agreement, most of the appendices (I mean, really, at some point do even the lawyers say, I am not going to read that one!?), and the three library-registry agreements and I tried to note the bits that matter to libraries. (That's boiling down about 320 pages into a 4 1/2 page summary, so I've left out a bit of detail.)"
