European libraries join forces against Google global virtual library

TurkishPress.com reports:

Nineteen European national libraries have joined forces against a planned communications revolution by Internet search giant Google to create a global virtual library, organisers said Wednesday.

The 19 libraries are backing instead a multi-million euro counter-offensive by European nations to put European literature online.

Several other libraries are supporting the measure without formally signing it. At least one other library is set to sign onto this initiative.
