Google announced that another major US college library had joined its controversial project to put the world’s books online.
The more than one million written works at the University of Texas library in Austin will be converted to digital format and added to Google Books Library Project, according to the Internet search powerhouse.
The university’s collection includes rare books and manuscripts from early Latin American history, Google said.
“Intellectual discovery is at the heart of the scholarly research process,” university director of libraries Fred Heath said in a statement.
