Cornell U. Joins Google Book-Scan Plan
Cornell University’s library has joined the Google Book Search project. The university announced today that the search company will digitize up to 500,000 works from its collections and make them available online. There, Internet users can find and read them using Google Book Search.
Cornell will let Google scan both public-domain and copyrighted documents. If there are no copyright restrictions, the full text will go online. If a book is copyrighted, viewers will only be able to see information such as the title and author’s name, and perhaps a few lines of text related to their search, as well as information about where they can borrow or buy the material.
