Google is at this fair to convince European publishing houses to digitize and include their most recent publications in his project, and enjoy the advantage of free publicity on the web. But the counter-attack started with the President of the French National Library (BNF) and Federation of European Publishers (FEE). Since 2004, European Digital Library proposes a different approach : ” European publishers are working hand in hand with the Commission so that the new library can offer a payment service to gain access to digital copies of protected works, not simply an extract, as Google Books is currently proposing.”, and should have six million e-books available, in 2010.
