Another reason to love Google...

HOT OF THE PRESS!!! :lol:

Watching the news and apparently Google is collaborating with Oxford, (Cambridge?) Harvard, Stanford and a couple of other universities to digitise a large part of their libraries and make them available on the internet for free!

I am not sure if it is ALL the books (only watching the news with half an eye :wink: ) but from what I gather, it will certainly be books from the 1800s/early 1900s that are only accessible in person and I guess, with special permission due to their age and delicate conditions.

Nice one Google!

I saw a blurb about that on my home page, but I was too busy googling to read the details. :lol:

Funny, and, sadly, quite true. :lol: :lol:

Hahahaha. My husband travels a *lot* on business -- this year alone he's been to England, Hungary, Germany, France, Holland, India, Singapore, China, Taiwan, Japan, and Sri Lanka. I may have even missed a country.... Anyway, I use Google News to track his movements too!
