1 P M J O U R N A L O F D I G I T A L R ESEARCH & P UBLISHING C''*/-?%#/$1.(.5#':#A/-D(&8.$(E#F)-# allure and dangers of online texts Leila Chacko UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY Abstract Through its development of Google Books, Google is acquiring a position of power over older media and it is important for digital research and publishing to be aware of the potential implications of the privatising of information previously held in the public domain through public libraries. The article neither seeks to portray Google as an evil empire nor a utopian force for good, but rather to explore some issues associated with the Google Books project that should inform the user’s experience.

Secondly the article looks at how, despite the utopian language surrounding digitised book projects, Google Books cannot really claim greatly increased accessibility until the problem of the digital divide can be overcome. The article also hopes to examine how Google does not provide equal representation of texts from around the world, this is primarily due to the copyright restrictions imposed, which are resolved for American texts due to the settlement, however this creates a bias in origin of texts provided online. Finally the contentious issue of censorship is discussed, Google does not actively censor itself, however like all companies it is required to work within the laws of the country in which it operates, in this point the article also discusses the library as a public good, and the potential concerns associated with this good being privatised.
