Publishers try to halt Google library plan By Chris Nuttall in San Francisco Published: October 19 2005 18:42 | Last updated: October 19 2005 18:42 Google came under further pressure on Wednesday to curtail its ambitions to scan and digitise books under copyright, with the Association of American Publishers (AAP) filing a lawsuit to block the internet companys project. The legal action followed a similar move last month when the Authors Guild, representing 8,000 writers, joined individual authors in a class-action lawsuit alleging the Google Print Library Project, launched last December, violated their copyright.

Early New Zealand Books online
by Mailing List Manager 20 Oct '05

20 Oct '05

Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2005 12:55:35 +0530 From: Bhojaraju G <bhojaraju.g(a)gmail.com> *Early New Zealand Books online* http://www.enzb.auckland.ac.nz The University of Auckland Library announces the official launch of its Early New Zealand Books digital collection. The collection currently comprises 20 books (23 volumes) including the majority of those published in the first half of the 19th century. The books are keyword searchable, individually or as a collection, with keyword-in-context displays of hit terms at three different levels of inclusiveness. Searches can be limited to words and phrases in picture captions and chapter summaries, if desired. All the illustrations are available at original size and double size for viewing detail. There are links to images of original pages. This collection is available primarily because of the enthusiasm and dedication of John Laurie, Subject Librarian for Anthropology, Applied Language Studies and Linguistics in the General Library, Te Tumu Herenga, the University of Auckland Library. The "Early New Zealand Books " collection is freely available on the Web. We believe that the collection will be of immense benefit to researchers of the period and the general public. Many of the books have been out-of-print and difficult to access in closed collections and keyword searchability will facilitate a whole range of new studies. It is hoped to expand the collection over the next few years to cover more significant nineteenth century books. Forty targeted books are listed on the website. Janet Copsey University Librarian Te Tumu Herenga The University of Auckland Library Private Bag 92019, Auckland New Zealand ############################################################# Thanks & Regards Bhojaraju G, Librarian � Knowledge Management Homepage: http://www.bhojarajug.freeservers.com ************************************************************ Pl do visit & put your comments on Guest Book "KM Cyberary" @ http://www.bhojarajug.freeservers.com/cyberary.html KM-Forum : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KM-Forum/

In the same context, let me inform members that Google also has a facility to Personalise its Home Page. For that you need to have some google account say GMAIL Account. Once you are logged in, you can set up number of RSS feed sources at http://www.google.com/ig for example you can add new section and add following URL for OpenMED@NIC latest additions: http://openmed.nic.in/perl/latest_tool?output=rss http://my.yahoo.com also provides similar facility to set up RSS Feeds. Have a try while adding feed from http://openmed.nic.in/perl/latest_tool?output=rss Thanks.
