    The Public Index: A Resource for Discussion
    of Issues Related to the Google Book Settlement

    The Public Index
    <http://thepublicindex.org/>

    "The Public Index is a site to study and discuss the proposed Google Book
    Search settlement. Here, you can browse and annotate the proposed
    settlement, section-by-section. Just use the table of contents or the
    search box at the right to get started. In addition, you can:

    Study our reading room of lawsuit documents

    Join the conversation in our forums

    Draft an amicus brief to the court on the wiki

    The Public Index is a project of the Public-Interest Book Search
    Initiative and the Institute for Information Law and Policy at New York
    Law School. We are a group of professors, students, and volunteers who
    believe that the Google Book Search lawsuit and settlement deserve a full,
    careful, and thoughtful public discussion. The Public Index is a site for
    people from all points of view to learn from each other about the
    settlement and join together to make their voices heard in the public
    debate.

    The lawsuit and its proposed settlement have generated their share of
    controversy. This is a site for everyone, dedicated to no particular point
    of view other than the advancement of dialogue and understanding."

    "We've seeded the wiki with an editable draft of our amicus brief. This is
    an open-source amicus brief; please edit and improve it! If we have facts
    wrong, correct them. If there are stronger arguments we could make, help
    us make them. If you have a sharper turn of phrase, share it. At the end
    of the summer, we'll sit down with your changes and suggestions and roll
    them into the brief that we file. Due to the rules of court we have to
    obey, we can't promise that we'll file it exactly as-is, but we'll take
    every good edit we can."

    There is on all of my subject guides links to a great deal of information
    about each Google search tool including Google Books and a large body of
    information in quite a number of posts on Net-Gold about Google Books and
    the other Google search tools. Here are some pertinent links.
