Is Google Waging a Public Relations Campaign on Libraries?

[bgsloan2@yahoo.com]

>From the ALA Washington Office's "District Dispatch":

"Recently, Google representatives have initiated contact with
members of the library community to explain, from their
perspective, the proposed Google Book Search settlement agreement
that was recently reached among Google, the Association of
American Publishers (AAP) and the Authors Guild.  Specifically,
Google is reaching out to library leaders, likely in response to
an increase in interest in the community and the press about the
concerns libraries have raised in response to the proposed
private settlement agreement."
