Comment What makes them think (Score 1) 294
that the libraries in the Google consortium only hold English language books? Exact numbers are hard to come by, but Oxford University claims to hold half a million books in modern European languages other than English in the specialist Taylorian library alone. The Taylorian is not in the Google consortium but I would be surprised if the participating libraries could not match this between them.
The more digitisation the better, but I think the various initiatives should try to avoid overlap.
