Google library plans and University of Michigan

[adam hodgkin <adam.hodgkin@gmail.com>]

Michigan have now posted an FAQ on their collaboration with Google at

http://www.lib.umich.edu/staff/google/public/faq.pdf

This has some useful details on the Michigan project and the deal with
Google. New to me was the guidance they give to the file format and the
quality of images in the Google scan. There is also a link to the contract
which was posted earlier at:

http://www.lib.umich.edu/mdp/um-google-cooperative-agreement.pdf

Michigan are helping the community by being open about their agreement
with Google, their progress and their aims. It is important that any
far-reaching plans of this kind are given full exposure before everything
is set in stone.
