- Abstract:
The article reports on the merging of the municipal library of Lyon, which holds the second largest collection of books in France, with Google Inc. As the first French library to join the Google Books Library Project, the facility will have an exclusive 25-year license to the digital text in exchange with the digitalization of the library's 1.3 million texts whose copyright has expired. Jean-Noël Jeanneney, a French historian, criticized the decision of Lyon in joining the Google library project because it will result to over reliance on English texts but the National Library had planned to digitize 300,000 of its texts while Europe wide digital library is on the process to digitalization.
