JISC seeks your views (UK) on the Google Book Settlement

0

By Paul Biba

For all our readers in the UK, you might want to respond to this JISC request. Here it is:

This is your chance to share your views about the Google Book Settlement. Even though the settlement as it stood has been withdrawn, JISC is interested in gathering views from the UK Higher and Further education community in order to help inform JISC’s approach to these issues, both in relation to the future iterations of the Google Book Settlement itself and more broadly. We can assume, even though this has been withdrawn for the time being, that we will see subsequent settlements that affect UK rights holders and have an impact on access to information for education and research. Your response will also help JISC understand any potential implications associated with any possible future European settlement.

Please respond by 26th October 2009.

Thanks to Resource Shelf for the link.
