Google "library" sparks French warcry - Reuters
French warcry? Do the French have a word for that? I trust it is not borrowed from Anglo-Saxons.
I'm not familiar with any government initiated websites that have enjoyed the kind of success the profit-motived firms have had.

PARIS (Reuters) - France's national library has raised a "warcry" over plans by Google to put books from some of the world's great libraries on the Internet and wants to ensure the project does not lead a domination of American ideas.This is too precious. Classic old-Europe thinking. Problem?; call the government, or in this case the supra government.
Jean-Noel Jeanneney, who heads France's national library and is a noted historian, says Google's choice of works is likely to favour Anglo-Saxon ideas and the English language.
He wants the European Union to balance this with its own programme and its own Internet search engines.
