In 2005, Jean-Noël Jeanneney, the President of the Bibliothè que Nationale (France's equivalent of the Library of Congress) wrote one of the most trenchant critiques of Google's intention to digitize millions of books from a number of major libraries. Jeanneney expanded on his original essay and this past October, The University of Chicago Press published a translation of Google and the Myth of Universal Knowledge: A View from Europe. In this December's D-Lib Magazine, there's a superb precis and analysis of Jeanneney's book by Dave Bearman.
