Comme annoncé dans le post d'hier la FAQ sur l'accord entre Google et Harvard vient d'entrer en service : http://hul.harvard.edu
Un passage parmi d'autres qui a particulièrement retenu mon attention :
"For books scanned at Harvard, what are the possible results of a Google search?
The results of a search will vary depending on the copyright status of each work.
For materials clearly in the public domain, the user will see the context in which the search term occurs in the book, and will be able to view the entire work online.
For materials that may be under copyright, Google will not display any text.
Over time, we expect to continue exploring with Google the possibility of displaying brief snippets from copyrighted works showing the use of the search term. The functionality of the Google system for book texts is likely to evolve rapidly over the next several years."
Et bien sûr cela vaut également la peine d'aller voir ce que Google dit officiellement de cette affaire sur son tout aussi officiel blog : http://www.google.com/googleblog/2004/12/all-booked-up.html. Sans oublier le communiqué de presse : http://www.google.com/press/pressrel/print_library.html
