- Retracing the Nazi Book Theft: German Libraries Hold Thousands of Looted Volumes – SPIEGEL ONLINE – Fascinating piece on wartime book theft, and the librarians tracking it all down.
- PersonaNonData: Google Announces Settlement in AAP Lawsuit – Finally, an agreement. The really interesting bit is the creation of a rights registry – or at least, the call for one. Going to be fascinating seeing who actually gets to create that. If it’s going to happen, Google need to just go ahead and do it, but that’s not exactly a perfect ending.
- Google, Publishers, Authors Guild Settle | Booksquare – Kassia makes good points all round. You have to wonder how things might be different if publishers had gone into this with a different attitude though.
- Acclaimed Colombian Institution Has 4,800 Books and 10 Legs – NYTimes.com – Luis, Alfa, and Beto. A library I’d love to have visit. (Ta, Tom)
