Thursday - Google Print Brings Up the Past

Google unveiled today their ambitious effort to digitize printed books at www.print.google.com. You may have read about their effort to scan and create an index of books available in major college libraries. Well, the Publishing and Writer associations weren't too happy about this copyright issue and will most likely tie up the copyright issue for a while.

But Google today made their index available for books which they have permission or which the copright has expired.

I found I was listed in a contact directory froma job I had 20+ years ago. I kinda enjoyed working in South El Monte back then...

Here's the link.
