No, The Author Owns the Rights to His Writing
Here are some links to background research: Stanford University Libraries http://fairuse.stanford.edu/ U.S Copyright Office http://www.copyright.gov/

Here are my five best arguments to make my claim Here are 3 arguments that might come from the other side and what I will say to argue against it Here are some broader situations which apply to this case:
 * 1 || If the whole book is online, there would be no incentive for people to buy the book, which is bad for the market. [|Fair Use on Stanford University Website] ||
 * 2 || Can search the library for books needed for certain research topics. Also, the information may not be as reliable as the library. [|Advantages and Disadvantages of Google Scholar] ||
 * 3 || The writers should be contacted and compensated for having their published work online. ||
 * 4 || Google scholar doesn't meet the four legal guidelines for fair use. It is an obvious copyright violation.  [|Google Book Search Settlement Agreement] ||
 * 5 || Promotes acts of plagiarism- may cause people to believe it is okay to copy others work and post it on the internet. ||
 * || Counter-Argument || What I will Say to respond: ||
 * 1 || People are able to read books that they originally would not have access to. || If people have access to a computer, they can buy the book off amazon or other websites. Also, they most likely have the ability to go to a library/book store that carries a certain book. ||
 * 2 || Google Scholar makes it easy to purchase books from the publishers online. || Google only added the option to buy the books because it recognized that fair use was an issue, but this is not enough compensation. If entire books are accessible, what is the incentive to buy the book? ||
 * 3 || Helps promote authors books. || Yes, but the author won't be rewarded for their writing if people don't buy the book and read the book online instead. ||
