Google Adds University Of California To Library Project
Google will digitize and make searchable books from the University of
California's huge library system.

Google Inc. on Wednesday said the University of California has agreed to
having books from its libraries' collections digitized and made
searchable within the company's controversial library project.
The UC system collection is spread across 100 libraries on 10 campuses,
making it one of the largest collections in the world. The full text of
books in the public domain will be available through Google Book Search,
while only snippets of copyrighted books will be viewable, along with
information about where they can be bought or borrowed.
The UC system joins the University of Michigan, Harvard University,
Stanford University, Oxford University and the New York Public Library
in making book collections available to Google. The latter are making
available only books in the public domain.
