Two weeks ago Terry Ballard wrote about microfiched books
found in fulltext and free in Google Books.
I just want to thank Teryy and his library for making these titles
available with catalogue-records because I will start including
these books in my university library catalogue here in Sweden.
I am convinced that in future this will be a common practice.
Everything will be available everywhere and not just in our local
catalogues.
Looking through the hundreds of titles that I printed out a minute
ago I can see that many of these titles are of interest even here
in Sweden. I will have a job for a week or two.
I have collected about 14.000 free e-books and registred them
in our catalogue so if Terry or somebody else is interested, just
write a note to me.
You made my day Terry, thanks!
More of this kind of global collection building amongst libraries
and librtarians.
