UW deal will put books online

From the Milwaukee Journal Posted: Oct. 12, 2006

The University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Wisconsin Historical Society announced Thursday that they are making nearly 500,000 historical books and documents available for a new search engine that aims to do with books what Google has done for Web sites.

Google is to create digital copies of the texts and make them available for search and download at www.books.google.com. In exchange, the university and the historical society are to get digital copies of their own.
