British Library Puts Its Books Online

With the help of Microsoft, the British Library is digitizing its books that are out of copyright. “The Microsoft deal means that 25 million pages from the British Library’s collections will be put online and made searchable for anyone. More works will be scanned in the future. ‘This is great news for research and scholarship and will give unparalleled access to our vast collections to people all over the world: they will be available to anyone, anywhere and at anytime’.”
