Speaking of Google books, I am reminded of something. A long time ago, in
the context of publisher donated books, I asked if there was any possibility
of getting Google to donate the electronic texts of their millions of books
to Bookshare. My understanding of the copyright law should make this
possible. Just think. Bookshare's collection could grow by about six million
books all at once. Pavi said that Bookshare was in talks with Google about
just that. Well, since I am recalling back at least two volunteer
coordinators and it was well before she left then that was certainly a long
time ago. The discussion of the matter ended on that note. I think enough
time has passed to ask about it again. What is the status of those talks
with Google? Will we ever get those millions of books into the collection?
