In news on Thursday, the University of California has joined Google's book-scanning project, placing about 100 academic libraries behind an ambitious adventure that happens to be under legal attack for alleged copyright violations. The deal covers all the libraries in the University of California's 10-campus system. The news underscore the biggest expansion of Google's effort in converting millions of library books into digital format since a group of authors and publishers sued Google in the fall of 2005, in an effort to derail that project launched 20 months before.

"We happen to think that this is a very significant step forward," said Adam Smith, the group product manager overseeing Google's book-scanning initiative. U of C joins three other major U.S. universities -- Stanford, Michigan and Harvard -- that are contributing their vast library collections to Google's crusade to ensure that vast quantities of knowledge written on paper make the transition to the digital age.
