Re: feedback to umichigan on "books and culture", part 1

I'd like to clear up a possible misunderstanding in some of the previous
messages. We are not performing any OCR on the materials scanned by Google.
Google provides us with both page images and OCR text files for each page.
This is spelled out in our agreement with Google. I would encourage everyone
to have a look at it--section 2.5 in particular:

We put the OCR text files in our repository without any changes or
post-processing. Best wishes,
