Google’s plan to digitize entire libraries and offer their content online for searching has hit a serious snag. The entire project is on hold until they can come to some agreement with the many authors involved.
Google will temporarily stop scanning copyright-protected books from libraries into its database, the company said late Thursday.
The company’s library project, launched in December, involves the scanning of out-of-print and copyright works so that their text can be found through the search engine’s database. Google is working on the project with libraries at Stanford University, Harvard University and other schools.
