Hi all,
I went to the French Library Association's Congress last week, and had
an interesting talk with the representative for Google Book Search in
France. I inquired about the new Terms of Services and what they meant
for libraries. He was positive that using the GBS API to fetch cover
images was crossing the red line: Google doesn't own those cover
images, which are "third party material" and shouldn't be used in
opacs through the APIs. That's what I was told in no uncertain terms.
Nicolas
