Is the Digitizing Town Big Enough for the Two of Them?
Yahoo!, the University of California Libraries, O’Reilly, and some other organizations announced participation in the international Open Content Alliance for digitizing material–a project similar to Google Print. InformationWeek reports on it, as does The New York Times. I wasn’t able to find information on Yahoo!’s site, but I probably just didn’t look very hard.
Addenda 10/6: Search Engine Watch has some comments from Michael Hart of Project Gutenberg about book digitization initiatives.
10/10: Confessions of a Mad Librarian summarizes the project.
