 The workshop will consider all facets of the Google Books project, the controversy it provoked, the proposals to settle that controversy, and the objections those proposals have evoked. In addition, it will revisit the important copyright issue that was posed -- but probably will not be decided in the pending litigation: To what extent can culturally valuable mass digitization projects involving copyrighted materials be justified under the fair use doctrine? We will also inquire into whether other viable models for the digitization of library and archival collections now exist or may emerge in the future. Although a major focus will be on what the revised settlement, if approved, would mean for libraries, we also will delve into some of the relatively exotic legal issues facing the court as it considers whether to give its approval (including privacy protection, class action procedure, and the antitrust/IP interface). In addition, we will try to map accurately the complex relationship between the terms of the settlement and the long-running problem of dealing with "orphan works." We hope to have with us representatives of Google, the AAP and the Authors' Guild, as well as many of the GBS's most articulate critics and defenders.
