Google adds major libraries to its database

Google will expand its ability for searching books by working with Stanford and Harvard universities, among others, to digitize out-of-print and copyrighted works.

On Tuesday, the Mountain View, Calif.-based search giant announced relationships with five major libraries, including those at the University of Michigan and Oxford University, as well as the New York Public Library, to create digital copies of some books so that they may be searchable using Google. Also on Tuesday, the company began sampling some works already scanned for Google Print, the company's searchable index of books that it formally unveiled in October.

I just read that here:

You'd think the search war was over but Amazon is already doing this just to sell books. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...471720-3545701

Not really for the same reason.

If Google wants to be really useful they will start sanning text books that people use for classes right now and skip all the old stuff. Publishers wouldn't be to keen on that so maybe they should publish their own digital texts and scientific publications. That would make me want to Google more.
