How will Google and U.Va. handle in-copyright works?
Both Google and U.Va. are very respectful of copyright law. Neither partner will make full text versions of in-copyright materials available to the public. Google has specifically designed Book Search to comply with copyright laws. Anyone will be able to freely view, browse, and read public domain books. For books protected by copyright, users will just get basic background (such as the book’s title and the author’s name), at most a few lines of text related to their search, and information about where they can buy or borrow a book. If publishers or authors don’t want to have their books digitized, they will be excluded.
