Internet company Google has announced that it is to restart its Google Print Library project despite the legal opposition it faces from publishers.
As part of the project, which involves five libraries, Google is digitalising books to make them searchable at http://print.google.com. Publishers and authors have been critical of the idea, due to copyright issues.
Previously a three-month pause in the scanning of copyrighted books for the Google Print Library project was announced by the company in August this year to enable copyright holders to apply for their books to be excluded from the scheme.
