The library never closed——by Google

"Electric cars do not deserve the popularity of the fundamental reason is that: (1) manufacturers do not allow the public to correctly understand the extraordinary effectiveness of electric vehicles; (2) [power company] did not provide a sufficient number of charging stations to let possession and use of electric vehicles becomes easy. between early speed, mileage and features are very limited electric vehicles to the public since the negative impression of surviving. "




Quotation in understanding electric cars for people who may be hardly anything. However, if it says that more than one hundred years ago, the annual production of electric vehicles only a few thousand sets of the era, perhaps somewhat different. This article appeared in a 1916 "Electric World" (Electrical World), is in my Google Books - up to a million book online library - where to find. In the more than 100 years ago, book, read something so modern is very strange really, but I can often be obtained from history, inspiration for the future. In this matter, I was lucky - the early twentieth century, extensive research on electric vehicles, leaving a number of books available I choose. As the books published before 1923 are not copyright protection, I can easily access them.

Predecessors left a broad array of books, and now they all stay in top university libraries, only those stubborn scholars a chance to see. Written after 1923, the book quickly disappeared in the text of the black hole. These books can only be submitted for publication in print only buy a limited few years, with few exceptions. A few years later, these books were moved to the sharp reduction in the number of libraries and books stores. As time goes by, the contract has been gradually forgotten by people, authors and publishers from the vanished, copyright owners are nowhere to be found.



Unique Copy of the last remaining few will inevitably slow decay, or face fires, floods, disasters and so on. When I go to school at Stanford in 1998 also, when soaked in the floods destroyed tens of thousands of books. Unfortunately, this became a common occurrence - Stanford during the flood 20 years ago, suffered a similar ordeal. You can, "Stanford - Lockheed Meyer Library Flood Report" (The Stanford-Lockheed Meyer Library Flood Report) found in this book describes the floods may be published in 1980, this book is now looking for is not up.



Books in the collective knowledge (collective knowledge) and cultural heritage has a pivotal position, Google co-founder Larry Page (Larry Page) a decade ago all the books intended to digital. At that time Google was a fledgling start-up companies, we do not have the ability to attract others to participate in this ambitious plan is full of challenges. But five years later in 2004, Google Books (then known as Google Print) was born, the user can read through the network to hundreds of thousands of books. Now that number exceeds 10 million, and growing.



This year our program has been publisher of the Writers Union and the United States to prosecute. Although the parties have different views, but we have a common goal - so deeply embedded in countless out of print book of human wisdom see the light again while giving the copyright owner a reasonable compensation. In the end, we have developed a solution to achieve a common vision of all parties. Authors, publishers, and Google are benefiting, but the real winner is to obtain permission to readers around the world who read the book.



This agreement has been well received by controversy, all aspects of the groups have expressed their opinions, mixed. I am very pleased to take this opportunity to clarify some of the facts relating to this agreement and to share with you this cause I am very proud of reasons. The agreement aims to enable hundreds of millions of out of print (and copyrighted) books through paid or free of charge (funded by advertising) way for readers to use. Most of the income will belong to copyright owners, namely, books, the author or publisher.



It is claimed that this agreement is a compulsory license on the grounds that in most collective agreements, all members of the collective before the arrival of a particular date no right to opt out. The fact is that copyright owners may at any time for their works to set prices and access to, or exit from the Google Books. For those copyright owners of books yet to emerge, we will formulate a reasonable price and access to the default provisions. This will give readers a chance to read a number of unclaimed copyrighted works. We earn revenue from copyright owner will be their motivation appears.



Others on this agreement in the impact of competition, questioned, or assert that it will limit consumer choice out of print books. In fact, this agreement is not binding on any other company or organization efforts in similar areas. Now, if you want to read a representative out of print books, your only choice is - fly to the United States a small number of several first-class library, quietly hope that it will be you in the upper shelves.



Hopefully there are 100 kinds of services will allow me to easily read such a book; it would save me a lot of time, Google will make a big effort to spend less. Despite the need for a number of important efforts to set up a digital calendar (Google book project for a number of similar funds, including the Library of Congress several subsidiary bodies), but not a large-scale, simply because no one else is willing to carry out the necessary resources to investment. If you have not one hundred such services, that at least one to stay.



Google Books, if successful, others will follow. They will have have a more convenient way: This agreement has created a book copyright registration (book rights registry) sections, to encourage copyright holders to cooperate with us and for other projects to obtain permission to provide fast access. While the new projects will not immediately right unclaimed copyright books have the same rights, this agreement will become a beacon of compromise (a beacon of compromise), in order to avoid similar legal proceedings. The same time, the unique nature of the agreement for these books as a pioneer in the legislation, as Google has insisted on it, and will always stick to it.



Finally, there are products on the Google Books and agreements, some specific aspects of dissatisfaction with the planned future services, including bibliographic information of the quality of the classification system of choice and privacy provisions of the details. These are legitimate questions and the pursuit of product quality as a company, we have worked very hard to find solutions to these problems the program - complete bibliographic information and classification, and further complement Privacy Policy. If we can not provide the right product, people will pre-empt us one step. But what seems clear is that no matter which one interrupts the process would be contrary to the spirit of the agreement.



Google Books, I found another book, "Insurance Year 1880-1881 Yearbook" (the Insurance Year Book 1880-1881), by Cornelius E Siwo Herford (Cornelius Walford) in accordance with dozens of records in chronological order libraries and the destruction of several one million books, he hoped that such a record make people aware of the need to act and to protect them are no longer damaged. Library of Alexandria, Egypt, the famous fire occurred three times, respectively in 48 BC, AD 273 and AD 640. The Library of Congress in 1851, two thirds of the books in a fire in the ashes.

I hope that no more incidents of similar destructive, but history will not agree with my thoughts. More importantly, even if our cultural heritage is intact collections in the world's most solid library, if no one can read it then what use does it. Many companies, libraries, and organizations will be in the protection and use of literature in the twentieth century to play their own role. Authors, publishers, and Google will jointly take a step towards this goal, but it is an important step. Let us seize this opportunity.
