...Michigan, both of whose collections will be entirely digitalized. Google never halted the scanning at Harvard, as none of the books that the University is sharing are under copyright protection. Likewise, the books provided by Oxford and the New York Public Library are exclusively in the public domain. In the past week, Google has activated a searchable database of its first 10,000 digitized books—none of which are under copyright protection. Some of the works from the Harvard collection included in this first release are volumes by Henry James, Edith Wharton, Booker T. Washington, Harriet Beecher Stowe...
...arrogance can be forgiven. Reared in the rarefied domain of theater and opera (he assisted Neil Armfield's acclaimed production of Hamlet, and Baz Luhrmann's staging of A Midsummer Night's Dream), Mclean here applies the finesse of fine art to the pulpiest of fiction.

One of the judges, Alan A. Khazei ’83, said they were looking for people who helped develop other leaders and made unique contributions in their fields. “You don’t have...

A punch book contains comments about every current “punch” (the students who wish to join the club) and, as one could imagine, the comments are rarely based on any sort of merit. The Isis’ book is rife with vapid and positive evaluations, as well as harsh critiques based on punches’ accessories, shrill vocal...
...means for Google to receive the permission of publishers and authors before copying their work.Among the options proposed by the AAP was a system similar to the Open Content Alliance, an internet archive partnered with the search engine Yahoo! that allows users access only to works in the public domain and those for which they received publishers’ permission, said Schroeder.“We thought [Google was] listening to us, but apparently not,” said Schroeder.Schroeder said that Google’s project will benefit users and publishers alike, so long as it receives permission...
