Alternative Approaches to Open Digital Libraries in the Shadow of the Google Book Search Settlement

An Open Workshop at Harvard Law School

July 31, 2009

Sponsored by the Berkman Center for Internet & Society, the Harvard Law School Library, and Professors Charles Nesson, John Palfrey and Phil Malone

Registration for in-person attendance is closed for this event, but we will be webcasting portions of the program and encourage those who are interested and unable to attend to participate remotely. Information on logistics, directions, etc., is at the bottom of this page. Social / remote participation tools are listed here. Plenary sessions for this event will be webcast live here. **Please note, the link will only be active and available during the scheduled Live broadcast.**


Scope and Goals

The proposed Google Book Search settlement creates the opportunity for unprecedented access by the public, scholars, libraries and others to a digital library containing millions of books assembled by major research libraries. But the settlement is controversial, in large part because this access is limited in major ways: instead of being truly open, this new digital library will be controlled by a single company, Google, and a newly created Book Rights Registry consisting of representatives of authors and publishers; it will include millions of so-called “orphan works” that cannot legally be included in any competing digitization and access effort, and it will be available to readers only in the United States. It need not have been this way.

This workshop seeks to bring a fresh, unique perspective to a complex and widely debated topic. It will focus not on the specific merits and demerits of the settlement itself, or the particular antitrust and privacy and other objections that have been raised. Instead, it will examine the idea of possible alternative universes and offer specific proposals for scenarios that may arise whether or not the settlement is approved. What can libraries, or universities, or non-profits, or Congress, do in the current landscape? And how might these possibilities help us to define a better world than the one that we have today and, more importantly, than the one that will exist if the Google settlement is approved in its current form? Regardless of what happens with respect to the Settlement, what alternative possibilities could lead to a richer, more open and better information ecosystem than the one we have today or might have tomorrow with the Settlement?

By exploring these alternatives, this workshop seeks, in the end, to help inform the debate over the Settlement and its terms and to illuminate some of the key policy considerations that are at stake. Its ultimate goal is to develop a series of options and proposals that could improve on the status quo in novel ways.

Harvard Law School Roundup and Summation of the Workshop: http://www.law.harvard.edu/news/spotlight/intellectual-property/google-book.html

Agenda

8:00 a.m. – Registration and refreshments


8:30 a.m. – 8:45 a.m. -- Opening Remarks – Professor John Palfrey Webcast. **Please note, the link will only be active and available during the scheduled Live broadcast.**


8:45 a.m. – 10:15 a.m. – Session 1: Webcast. **Please note, the link will only be active and available during the scheduled Live broadcast.**


What opportunities are we missing with the GBS settlement? What might a truly “open” digital collection look like? What might it be if it were created or run by major libraries? What can we learn from the Open Content Alliance project/Internet Archive, the Human Knowledge Project, Project Gutenberg and others? What are the prospects for alternative digital library efforts in the shadow of the Google settlement, if it is approved? If it is modified? If it is not approved?

  • John Palfrey, Harvard Law School Library & Berkman Center
  • Siva Vaidhyanathan, University of Virginia
  • Maura Marx, Open Knowledge Commons


10:15 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. – Break


10:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. - Perspective Webcast. **Please note, the link will only be active and available during the scheduled Live broadcast.**


  • Professor Lawrence Lessig, Harvard Law School, "Settlements: Static goods, dynamic bads"


11:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. – Session 2: Webcast. **Please note, the link will only be active and available during the scheduled Live broadcast.**


What might truly open access to orphan works look like? Would it be a public domain claim to open, fair and free use of orphan works? Orphan works legislation that lets other digital libraries offer access to orphan works? Opportunities for orphan works to move into the public domain or to be offered with Creative Commons or similar open licenses? What should be done with any revenues generated by orphan works under the Settlement or any equivalent? How well does the Settlement serve these goals, and what does it not do? What is the role of Congress in shaping this critical aspect of copyright policy? What would be the impact of the Settlement on the likelihood of orphan works legislation?

  • Jule Sigall, Microsoft (formerly U.S. Copyright Office, principal drafter "Report on Orphan Works")

12:15 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. – Group Lunch on your own at Harkness Commons (informal discussions continue)


1:30 p.m. – 1:45 p.m. – Pitches for attendee-proposed breakout sessions *not webcast*


1:45 – 3:00 p.m. –Breakout Sessions *not webcast*


Breakout 1 (Pound 200) – Privacy and censorship. How can we ensure that digital libraries maintain the same privacy norms and protections that non-digital libraries have worked so hard to build and preserve? What would be the necessary technological features for an online library to be able to replicate the anonymous reading and browsing that patrons largely enjoy in physical libraries? How do we ensure the combination of unrestricted access to information and no monitoring of use that characterize libraries today?

  • Marc Rotenberg, EPIC


Breakout 2 (Pound 204) – Open access for research and innovation: What might truly open access to an online digital library look like? What would be the most productive and open scenarios for researchers using an online research corpus for computational “non-consumptive” purposes? How might we best allow non-profit and for-profit rivals to build and offer innovative viewers, search functions, and other applications on top of an “open” database of scanned works?

  • Ethan Zuckerman, Berkman Center
  • Peter Suber, Berkman Center


Breakout 3 (Pound 102) – Libraries as consumers of the online digital library. How do we deal with concerns about pricing of content, and about the durability of digital content that is “rented” rather than owned?

  • John Palfrey, Harvard Law School Library & Berkman Center
  • Robert Darnton, Harvard University Library


Breakout 4 (Pound 101) - Google

  • Jon Orwant, Google Book Search Project


Additional breakout sessions to be determined by attendee proposals and interest. Additional space available in the lounge areas of Pound Hall, Harkness Commons, and Hauser Room 104.


3:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. – Meet as a group to hear and discuss summaries of Breakout sessions Webcast. **Please note, the link will only be active and available during the scheduled Live broadcast.**
