The Library of Congress is conducting an examination into whether Google Book Search and its partner libraries are exempt under Sec. 108 of the Copyright Act. (See notice.) They are having two roundtables on the subject, one March 8 in LA and one March 16 in DC. From March 17 until April 18 they are accepting comments on the subject. (Tip of the hat to Tech Law Journal.)

CLARIFICATION (3/1/06): I was careless in reading Tech Law Journal's account of the Library of Congress action and was negligent in not carefully reading the LoC's own notice, to which I linked. I've been informed that the LoC's Sec. 108 Study Group predates the Google Book Search controversy, and the proceeding underway is not intended to specifically address Google Book Search. I would suspect the issue could come up at the roundtables and in comments, but that is not the objective of the LoC. For further info please see the LoC notice linked to above.
