Google Book Search is an application created by Google that allows users to search over seven million books and magazine issues at once. The end result included four years of scanning printed texts and partnerships with 20 internationally-known libraries. In October, 2008, Google settled two class-action lawsuits with copyright holders. Once the settlement is finalized, users will be able to search for books using simple text string searches, and then purchase digital or hard-copy books online or look for available copies in nearby libraries.New York Times: Google Hopes to Open a Trove of Little-Seen Books (January 4, 2009)
Beginning January 5, 2009, potential claimants to the settlement will have four months to comment, opt-out, or object to the settlement. Copyright holders—book authors and publishers—have until April 5, 2011 to object or comment.Library Journal: Hurdles Await Google Settlement (December 15, 2008)
