Wisconsin partners with Google Book Search

I read in one of my feeds this morning and I also received an e-mail from Emily Y. (thanks Em!) that my alma mater is the latest institution to sign an agreement with Google that will enable the digitization of books from the university's libraries and the Wisconsin Historical Society.

The UW has decided that only those books which fall within the public domain (published prior to 1923), "state and federal documents and works whose authors have consented to the process" will be part of the project.
