Josh Hadro, Library Journal.com; HathiTrust/Summon Deal Increases Search Access to In-Copyright Works:
"Still, Wilkin believes there to be more than 2.5 million orphan works among the archive's current holdings and that the proportion of orphan works is likely to far outstrip the amount of public domain material in the archive, currently around 2.2 million items, or 26% of the collection, as more in-copyright works are scanned and indexed. If the true number of orphan works is anywhere near Wilkin's estimate, that's likely to make increased access to those works an even higher priority for librarians, as the likelihood of a licensable orphan works database evaporates with the Google settlement."
