    • Abstract:
      The article encourages library representative organizations (LRO) in the U.S. to support Google Book Search. Google Books Search is an initiative of Google to copyright digitized information resources. The LRO have been active and have remained silent on digitization copyright issues. Nonetheless the LRO formalized their shared legal capability on copyright issues into the Library Copyright Alliance. The Alliance's mission is congruent with the vision Google has for Google Book Search. So the question remains: why is it that the library community's only comments on Google Book Search come from a president of the American Library Association?
