Google Adds Univ. of Texas to Book Search

Google has joined up with the University of Texas at Austin to bring the school's library online through the Google Books Library Project. Over 1 million works will be digitized in the effort, including a world-renowned Latin American collection.

The University of Texas Libraries are the together the fifth largest academic library in the United States, Google says. The search company has already begun digitizing works from the Universities of California, Virginia, Michigan and Wisconsin, as well as Harvard, Oxford, Stanford, and The New York Public Library. Books in the public domain are fully accessible, and for those still in copyright, Google will display a few lines of text related to the search.
