In yeste rday's link dump, I inexplicitly buried a link to the big news about Google's plan to index the books at The Libraries of Harvard, Stanford, the University of Michigan, the University of Oxford, and The New York Public Library. Wow!

In the meantime, Microsoft released a toolbar suite. Uhmmm, wow?

Note to Microsoft: I like your OS, but you're falling waaay yy behind.

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.

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.

Out Of "Beta?" 04/03/2005 03:45 AM
Dave, this is a simple question, but profound: how come almost every new tool that Google releases stays in “beta” forever? This is a fascinating question and one that I’ve wondered too, as I’ve watched Orkut come and go in the public eye, Gmail shake up the entire world of free Web-based e-mail, Google News get slapped with a lawsuit for misappropriation of intellectual property, Google Catalog Search, and Froogle gain surprisingly little visibility, and…
