Big news from the Google Book Search Library Project today:
The number of libraries participating in the Google Book Search Library Project just got a whole lot bigger with today’s addition of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC). The CIC is a national consortium of 12 research universities, including University of Chicago, University of Illinois, Indiana University, University of Iowa, University of Michigan, Michigan State University, University of Minnesota, Northwestern University, Ohio State University, Pennsylvania State University, Purdue University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
There are a lot of libraries in that list, and having lived in Northern Illinois for most of my life, I am familiar with many of them (and in fact am planning to visit another one, Ohio State University, within the next couple of weeks to look at a hard-to-find book).
