Google Book Search Project and Alternative Experience of Formation of E-Libraries

The article analyzes the role of Google Book Search, the largest corporate repository of infor-mation with the subordinate function of pay wall, in the development of new institutional paradigm of e-libraries. It is noted the negative reaction of foreign library community to the functioning of the IT-giant book service as an attempt of monopolizing the access to intellectual heritage. It is described the public benefit concept, triggering the formation of new electronic archives. The article examines the alternative experience of formation and functioning of some foreign digital libraries: HathiTrust Digital Library, Europeana, Digital Public Library of America, Internet Archive, - putting forward the priority of non-commercial access to databases. Attention is paid to the history and basic structural parameters of the emerging electronic collections. The article analyzes the dynamics of relationship of the new digital libraries with Google book service - from active cooperation in digiti-zation programs to opposition against information monopoly practice, and then to sporadic cooperation in the framework of special projects, promoting new format of providing information services. Attention is focused on the development of new principles of collective cooperation of digital libraries abroad in the process of building infrastructure of the information society.
