Reading this post is most heartening to me. I have been shocked by the reactions of some in the publishing industry and by some authors by the lack of realization of the benefits which outweigh hugely any "harm" that may come by full text indexing of books are bringing in that people, through Google Print searches and searches in competitive book content indexing projects from Google Print competitors, will serve to cause people to need books they would never have realized contain important information about topics which they are researching or learning about without these searches. While some will use libraries to view this content, others will purchase the books to find additional content or to have the information handy as needed over the long haul for their research project by owning their own copy of the book. Gary Price in a recent excellent post to the DIG_REF list noted that Google Print is not the only provider of this service.
