Google says that it has put its program of scanning and posting searchable texts of books on hiatus until November. However, Google already has scanned in many volumes, mostly of books published by university presses. This includes both critical and creative texts.
If you have any concern about this and its impact on the distribution of your work, you should link over to http://print.google.com/ and do a search on your own name. You might then want to look at your contract(s) with your publisher(s) and see if you have already signed away permission for such use. If not, a discussion with your editor might be in order.
