Google and Princeton University have announced a partnership for Google’s Library Project.

Princeton University libraries have more than six million printed works, five million manuscripts and two million nonprint items, according to Google.

Google and Princeton are going to digitize one million public domain books from the Princeton’s collections.

Karin Trainer, Princeton University Librarian, said: “Generations of Princeton librarians have devoted themselves to building a remarkable collection of books in thousands of subjects and dozens of languages. Having the portion of that collection not covered by copyright available online will make it easier for Princeton students and faculty to do research, and joining the Google partnership allows us to share our collection with researchers worldwide, a step very much in keeping with the University’s unofficial motto of Princeton in the nation’s service and in the service of all nations”.
