Part of the deal is that each library gets a copy of the digital file to keep for themselves, not under Google's control. Many of these libraries have formed the <a href="//www.hathitrust.org/" rel="nofollow">HathiTrust</a> consortium, dedicated to pooling their new resources (many, but not all, from Google's scanning) to create an open, not-for-profit electronic library. As it stands, Google is the only one who's worked out arrangements to deliver orphan works, but a) that's likely to change in the future, and b) Google could hardly make them less available than they are now.

I never want to wade through all the paperwork so I appreciate that you did it for me! Sarah, Thanks for such a succinct and useful summary of the issues.
