France's national library sees serious problems with plans by Google to put books from some of the world's great libraries on the Internet.
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.
Jean-Noel Jeanneney says he is not anti-American, but he says like French President Jacques Chirac, he wants a world in which US views are not the only ones that are heard.
