Go to the Library Without Leaving your Desk
Google is once again changing our daily lives, this time with an online library full of fully searchable public domain books from some of the world's most extensive libraries.
Google Inc. has announced the availability of the first large collection of public domain books on Google Print. This collection, scanned as part of the company's book digitization project with several of the world's largest libraries, includes works such as U.S. Civil War history books, government documents, the writings of Henry James and other materials.
Because they're out of copyright, these cultural artifacts can be read in their entirety online, where anyone can search and browse every page. They are fully searchable and users can save individual page images.
