Media Release
Aug. 11, 2006
The University of California has joined Google Inc.'s bid to scan the book collections of the world's great libraries, the organizations said Tuesday, marking renewed momentum for a project nearly derailed by stiff resistance from publishers.
The top Web search company said it will fund the scanning of "several million" of the 34 million titles in the University of California's libraries, as part of a year-and-a-half old project to make major library collections searchable online.
The University of California (UC) holds 100 libraries on 10 campuses across the state and ranks as the largest research and academic library in the world. California joins Harvard, Oxford, Stanford, the University of Michigan and the New York Public Library in the Google Book Search project.
