Dear friends,
 
The Google Book Search case is heating up.  Hundreds of authors,
libraries, publishers, universities, companies, and public-interest
groups have filed papers supporting or opposing the settlement.  The
House is holding hearings on it, the Register of Copyrights has come out
against it, and the Department of Justice is expected to weigh in.  Join
us at D is for Digitize and help to make sense out of these complex
issues.  We've assembled an all-star cast of speakers to sort through the
controversy, identify common ground, and map out the future of book
ditization.  Space is filling up fast, so register now at
