[Web4lib] Information resource about the Google Book settlement

[B.G. Sloan]

If anyone is interested in background materials concerning Google's settlement with publishers and authors, I ran across an interesting resource compiled by Timothy Vollmer, an IT policy analyst in DC. 

The URL for Vollmer's list of links to related resources is almost 100 characters long, so I created a shortcut:

Many of the items listed relate to libraries and the Google settlement. As one example of what's in Vollmer's list, the most recent entry is for:

Erway, Ricky. 2009. Impact of the Google Book Settlement on Libraries. Report produced by OCLC Research. Published online at: www.oclc.org/programs/publications/reports/2009-01.pdf
