This document summarizes the Google Books Settlement and the history of Google's book scanning efforts. It discusses how Google scanned over 7 million books since 2004 and launched a digital bookstore. In 2008, Google reached a settlement over copyright lawsuits that allows libraries to offer digital books and gives rightsholders a role in a book rights registry. The settlement could transform publishing by making many out-of-print books available and set a global precedent for digital libraries.
