Re: [CODE4LIB] How much of our reference collection is in Google Books?
On 3/7/17 4:18 PM, Harper, Cynthia wrote: Perhaps scanning the indexes would be legally defensible because they constitute less than 10% of the work... Do keep in mind that figures like 10% as a maximum threshold for a Fair Use come from various consensus documents developed by groups of stakeholders related to certain media formats, but they have no actual legal standing. There are many factors that play into Fair Use, and proportion of the work is just one of them. That said, if you had a collection of OCRd indexes and built a search engine told you which works contain a mention of a term in the digitized index, a court might well consider this a transformative fair use -- akin to HathiTrust's digitization of in-copyright works -- and not find you guilty of infringement. But I'm not an attorney, so this should not be construed as legal advice. Kevin

Off topic plug: I run http://rubyland.news, a 'planet' style aggregator for stuff about ruby (the language). I'm interested in adding a similar feature.
