Federal Judge Denny Chin rejected the Google Books Settlement (GBS) on March 22, 2011. Far from providing closure on a deeply contentious issue with far-reaching implications for the library community, the action raised significant new questions, including:
These and other issues will be explored on June 14, when we host attorney Jonathan Band, who represented the national library associations in connection with the settlement. Band has written extensively on the GBS, producing the widely used “Guide to the Perplexed” (http://www.librarycopyrightalliance.org/bm~doc/guideiv-final-1.pdf), and is the architect of the oft-consulted “GBS March Madness: Paths forward for the Google Book Settlement” diagram (http://www.policybandwidth.com/doc/2010/20100402_GBS_March_Madness_Diagram_FINAL.pdf).
Join us as Band explores the current state of play and offers insights into the potential nexus between the rejection of the settlement and Open Access, as well as a host of other important implications for the library community.
