Google’s library grows and grows

Google has recently announced another major US college library to join its controversial project to put the world’s books online. More than one million written books at University of Texas library in Austin would be converted to digital format and added to Google Books Library Project.

The university’s collection has rare books and manuscripts from early Latin American history, said Google.

The Google Book Search project was started during 2004 with a hope of scanning every literary work into digital format and making them accessible online. Google has partnerships with the New York Public Library and few other major universities such as Harvard, Oxford, Complutense of Madrid and the University of California to add more collections to its virtual book shelves.
