2 Tuesday, May 26, 2009 The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com MARIJUANA From Page 1 university's Oakland campus were initially small, but media attention caused an increase in enrollment, and the school opened a second campus in Los Angeles, Calif. Both campuses are currently holding classes for about 160 stu- dents each week.. Clare said Michigan first caught Oaksterdam's attention after Pro- posal 1 - which legalized medici- nal marijuana in-the state - passed last November. OU chose to hold its classes in Ann Arbor due to the city's lax marijuana laws, Clare said. "In reading Michigan's law, we recognized that for the first time in a long time there was another state that had legislation that was similar to our own," he said. Clare added that Oaksterdam was interested in helping Michigan im- plement the proposal. "(We realized) there's other peo- ple out there that have an opportu- nity to really make or break this new law, and we have a chance to get out there and teach them how to do it well," Clare said. Clare said that beginning in Janu- ary, Oaksterdam started reaching GOOGLE From Page 1 for Google Book Search, said one of Google's main missions is to "orga- nize all of the world's information:' Google Book Search, which Google initiated six years ago, gives students in participating schools and libraries access to resources that they could not otherwise ob- tain online. "A large amount of (information) is in books, journals and magazines, which are a record of the scholarly historical nast and are not available out to various marijuana advocacy groups in viichigan. Those connec- tions eventually ledto lastweekend's seminar. Clare added thathe was surprised by the response of those interested in attending the seminar. The first week after it was announced,-Oak- sterdam received more than 600 calls from people inquiring about the seminar and wanting to regis- ter. Ohio resident Rosie Hess said she was motivated to attend the seminar because she and her husband have health issues that qualify them to grow medicinal marijuana. "I need to learn to grow the best, of course, butalso go ahead and make a living doing it," Hess said. "This is something I firmly believe in and something that I think the nation is eventually going to be gravitating to, so I'd like to do my part." LSA junior Francesca Bardinelli, an executive director for Students for Sensible Drug Policy, said she supported the seminar for similar reasons. "Everyone has the right to seek the medical attention that they need, even if that is marijuana, which is il- legal," Bardinelli said. "I mean, these people are in pain and n.eed help. Why should they be denied the only online yet," Clancy said. Right now public access is limited by the physical book; (Google Book Search) greatly opens us access to books." The system will permit University students, staff, faculty, and partici- pating libraries around the country to receive digital access to millions of complete books. Individuals will also have the ability to buy books online if the books are not affiliated with a university or library. Accord- ing to Clancy, individual books will cost $14.99 or less. Contributing libraries like the University's will receive a cost sub- 420 Maynard St. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1327 www.michigandaily.com JAMIE BLOCK DAN NEWMAN jamblock@urnichkedu emdbusiness@gmailcom CONTACT INFORMATION Newsroom oficehours: Su""-Thurs " am -2 am NewsTips nesmichgandail,.c.'.

Clancy said Google Books offers a full search of the database, but read- ers can only see 3 million of the 10 million scanned so far. And for half of those 3 million, only a preview of up to 20 percent of the book is avail- able. Clancy added that with Google Book Search, University libraries and readers not affiliated with larger institutions willbe able to pay to read entire books online, opening up the remaining 7 million books Google has already scanned. LSA senior Morgan Baker snoke in favor of Google Book Search, but voiced her concern about authors' rights to their works. "I think it's a great idea, but the only issue there is getting au- thors' opinions on whether or not their work should be in a library, or whether or not we should be paying to see that work," Baker said. "But I think that (the University) is all about sharing education and this is the best way to do it!' Though it will be an ongoing pro- cess because of the continuous pub- lishing of new books, Courant said students will reap the benefits of the agreement in three years or less.
