This is impressive:
"The project will create new ways for users to search
and access
Library content, opening up our library collections to our
own
users and to users throughout the world"
"Users throughout the world"? Yes, if You allow me
to import the
one milion marc-records!
If Michigan at least could have made them visible through a
catalogue instead of celebrating something that Google
fullfills!
"Google Book Search will help you find books digitized
in the
Michigan Digitization Project (MBooks) and Google's
partnerships
with other libraries around the world"
Where are the marc-records to be found?
A heap of books is not a library. A library is created when
You
have a catalogue. That is a milestone.
