Google Is Adding Major Libraries to Its Database

By JOHN MARKOFF and EDWARD WYATT

Google, the operator of the world's most popular Internet search service, plans to announce an agreement today with some of the nation's leading research libraries and Oxford University to begin converting their holdings into digital files that would be freely searchable over the Web.

It may be only a step on a long road toward the long-predicted global virtual library. But the collaboration of Google and research institutions that also include Harvard, the University of Michigan, Stanford and the New York Public Library is a major stride in an ambitious Internet effort by various parties. The goal is to expand the Web beyond its current valuable, if eclectic, body of material and create a digital card catalog and searchable library for the world's books, scholarly papers and special collections.

Harvard Pilot Project with Google

I just got a university-wide email regarding a pilot project that Harvard is starting with Google. It looks like Google will also be joining with other universities in this project, which will begin the work of digitizing, and in the case of public domain works providing public access to, the contents of the Harvard library system.

Sounds good. Now if only we can figure out a way to get more of the books, particularly those which are out of print, into the public domain.

Disability Database for Museums, Archives and Libraries
http ://www.resource.gov.uk/action/learnacc/00access_03.asp

In a United Kingdom plan to reduce access barriers in museums, archives and libraries, an organization called Resource: The Council for Museums, Archives and Libraries has created a database of 200 trainers, auditors and consultants specializing in disability issues. The database offers support and advice on all disability issues. Marcus Weisen, Resources Disability Officer, says: "In the past databases of disability trainers, auditors and consultants in the cultural sector were merely address lists and they were not available on the Web. With this new system, we can allow users to browse categorized listings to find the best match for their needs." The disability database is available on the Resource Web site at:

Microsoft delays major developer tools
and database releases

Microsoft delays major developer tools
and database releases 03/22/2005 03:33 PM
Microsoft has announced that its next-generation software development suite, Visual Studio 2005, and its long-awaited new database system, SQL Server 2005, will now appear in 'the second half' of 2005. This is seen as a further slippage for the long-awaited products. (The Yukon version of SQL Server was once anticipated as underpinning the database-oriented filesystem of Longhorn. Similarly, the 'Orcas' version of Visual Studio was originally intended to provide tool support for the Longhorn Windows OS.) Major products do not usual ship in July or August - so if they have not arrived by June then September becomes the first available timepoint. Given the size and history of these products, however, 'anytime before the end of 2005' might be a wiser prediction. Microsoft has announced revised US pricing for Visual Studio 2005, and tweaked subscription terms for its Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) subscriptions, the channel by which most developers obtain Visual Studio. With the estimated prices being revised downwards, Microsoft will also offer MSDN subs with Visual Studio Professional Edition products at special rates. This is 'to afford small businesses the same subscription benefits as large enterprises,' it states.

Google to scan books from big libraries: Google is going to start scanning the books in libraries.

The New York library is allowing Google to include a small portion of its books no longer covered by copyright while Harvard is confining its participation to 40,000 volumes so it can gauge how well the process works. Oxford wants Google to scan all its books originally published before 1901.

Brewster Kahle Asks Google For Their
Database 08/11/2004 01:37 PM
The San Jose Mercury News is running a somewhat random article about Brew ster Kahle's Internet Archive. While he's been profiled many times before, the one interesting tidbit to slip out this time is that Kahle has asked Google to donate their database to help the archive. He's asking for a six-month old version of the database, to avoid competitive problems. The Internet Archive only publishes material 6-months old or older at this point anyway. Kahle is trying to appeal to Google's claim to want to make the world a better place, but you have to wonder if Google is holding back, in part, due to Kahle's involvement with open source search engine, Nutch. In somewhat related news, the Inquirer has a story about how the Internet Archive needed to get a special exception to the DMCA in order to keep copying certain software files to preserve the software from ending up on obsolete storage systems. I thought this exception was granted a while back, but maybe they're just starting to complain now about the fact they need to go back every 3 years to ask for permission again to save digital items for the sake of history.
