Bill Dyszel, Google Print Brings Publishers Business, Publish, June 3, 2005. Excerpt: 'The recent release of the Google Print Service grabbed the attention of attendees at the Book Expo here [New York] Thursday. A panel discussion featured several publishing executives who reported on their experiences with posting searchable full-text versions of their titles for viewing on Google. While some of the publishers encountered early resistance within their organizations over fears of piracy and improper use, all eventually found that the benefits of making their context searchable and viewable far outweighed any risks.'

Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
