Google has corralled yet another partner in its race to scan books from across the world: The Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, one of Europe’s most-visited research libraries, is joining the project.
The library will offer up a wide range of its public-domain titles — including books by Goethe and the Brothers Grimm, more obscure German works, and a smattering of volumes in French, Spanish, Latin, Italian, and English — to the search engine, according to the Inside Google Book Search blog.
The library becomes the 13th participant (and the largest non-English institution) in Google’s digitization project. —Brock Read
