<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:

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."

Because as of today this site has just been created, there is at this 
point only a small amount of content thus far, but this is certainly a 
site to watch over time as well as a place for interested persons and 
groups to provide information and ideas in regard to the wide variety of 
issues encompassed by Google Books and the Google Book settlement.  Access 
to important documents regarding this settlement is already provided by 
this website.

Introduction
<http://thepublicindex.org/introduction>

These documents and sources are listed:

Google has a brief overview of the settlement on its site.

The Authors Guild has a two-page letter outlining the settlement for 
authors.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has a readers guide to the settlement.

Matthew Sag has a series of YouTube videos walking through the settlements 
provisions:

Amicus Brief

"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.
