The Google Print project continues to alarm librarians and publishers not just in the U.S., but in Europe and elsewhere as well, according to articles in some foreign newspapers this weekend. In France, for example, several methods are being enacted to fight what the French call “omnigooglisation.” As a BBC News wire story by David Reidnotes, “With the Google Print project planning to put 4.5 billion pages of English onto the web, France has decided to do something similar with French, though on a smaller scale,” involving La Bibliothèque Nationale de France. “The project they call Gallica has already put some 80,000 works and 70,000 images online, and it is currently working its way through the BNF’s basement of 19th century newspapers.” And in England, Stephanie Merritt reports in a Guardian story that “few British trade publishers willing to sign up until they know exactly how Google plans to distribute their content and what kind of payment will be offered.” Not only librarians and publishers are leery, she reports, but also “successful authors such as Antony Beevor have concerns for copyright and sales.” Says Beevor, “The prospects at the moment are really rather scary.”
