On 25th, the association released the preliminary list of books provided by Google. According to the list, Google digital library was involved with a total of more than 80,000 types of Chinese books, which involved about 2,600 members of the Chinese Writers Association and their 8000 types of books. For technical reasons, these data need further verification.

According to the co-executive Deputy Director-General Zhang Hongbo of the association, currently Google has submitted a preliminary list to the association involving more than 80,000 types of books. However, Google’s headquarter’s technical departments retrieved those data only based on ISBN, due to technical reasons, these data also need to be further verified.

It is learned that, as of 15:00 pm on December 25, after initial search done by representatives from the association and Google, this list involved about 2,600 members of the Chinese Writers Association and their 8000 types of books. However, because of the phenomenon that the writers sharing duplicate names, therefore, it can not be excluded that part of them are not works by Writers Association members.
