This link is to the text of an email sent by the Author’s Guild to its 8,000 plus members, voicing concerns about Amazon’s new Search Inside the Book database:

The Guild questions whether proper permissions were received from the authors of the 120,000 books in Amazon’s database. In addition, the organization has deteremined that it is possible to print more than 100 consecutive pages, free, from works that include best selling books.

BeSpacific: “No one better has her finger on the pulse of the legal information world than Sabrina Pacifici, law librarian and author of the blog BeSpacific,” writes blogger Robert Ambrogi. “Launched in 2002, BeSpacific is one of the longest-running legal blogs and, remarkably, Sabrina seems more prolific today than ever. She posts multiple items every day, covering the gamut of law, technology and knowledge discovery and topics ranging from cybersecurity to legal research to government regulation to civil liberties to IP and more. For me, BeSpacific is one of my daily must-reads and has been for 14 years straight.”
