Google says that it has put its program of scanning and posting
searchable texts of books on hiatus until November. However, Google
already has scanned in many volumes, mostly of books published by
university presses. This includes both critical and creative texts.
If you have any concern about this and its impact on the distribution
of your work, you should link over to http://print.google.com/ and do
a search on your own name. You might then want to look at your
contract(s) with your publisher(s) and see if you have already signed
away permission for such use. If not, a discussion with your editor
might be in order.
