I have no objection to having my published/copyrighted works made available to the public via the Google Print Library Project.

As a writer, reader, and researcher, and former publisher, I feel great about Google's project and any other technology that would allow searching of writings, provided that they don't actually present the writings in toto or present them in any way other than in very brief excerpts that would locate the searched words accurately. I see nothing but good coming from this project. No writers and no publishers are going to lose money.  On the contrary, they could well make it when readers decide to pay for the writings searched and excerpted. And knowledge will be gained.
