OVERVIEW OF INSTITUTIONAL REPOSITORIES
Charles W. Bailey, Jr., compiler of SCHOLARLY
ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING BIBLIOGRAPHY (now in its 70th edition), has recently
published "Institutional Repositories, Tout de Suite", a work "designed to
give the reader a very quick introduction to key aspects of institutional
repositories and to foster further exploration of this topic though liberal
use of relevant references to online documents and links to pertinent
websites." The document covers definitions of institutional repositories,
why institutions should have them, and the issues authors face when
contributing to repositories.
"Institutional Repositories, Tout de Suite" is
available at
http://www.digital-scholarship.org/ts/irtoutsuite.pdf.
The work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0
United States License, and it can be freely used for any noncommercial
purpose in accordance with the license.

Million Book Project Reaches 1.5 Million Book Mark
From the Carnegie Mellon newsletter...
http://www.cmu.edu/news/archive/2007/November/nov27_ulib.shtml
The Million
Book Project, an international venture led by Carnegie Mellon University in
the United States, Zhejiang University in China, the Indian Institute of Science
in India and the Library at Alexandria in Egypt, has completed the digitization
of more than 1.5 million books, which are now available online. For the first
time since the project was initiated in 2002, all of the books ... are available
through a single Web portal of the
Universal Library (www.ulib.org),
said Gloriana St. Clair, Carnegie Mellon's
dean of libraries.

"Million Books Scanned at U. of Michigan -- and Counting,"
Jeffrey R. Young, Chronicle of Higher Education, February 4, 2008
---
Click Here
Librarians at the University
of Michigan at Ann Arbor threw themselves a party on Friday to
celebrate a milestone in their ambitious effort to scan every single
book in the collection. They
scanned the one millionth book,
leaving just 6.5-million to go.
Most of the scanning has
been done as part of the library’s controversial deal with Google.
The search giant is
working with dozens of major libraries
around the world to scan the full text of books to add to its index.
But Michigan is one of the only institutions to agree to scan every
one of its holdings — even those that are still covered by
copyright. Some publishers
have sued Google for copyright infringement
over the scanning effort, though officials from Google say their
effort is legal because they are not making the full text of
copyrighted books available to the public.
The
University of Pittsburgh’s University Library System (ULS) and
University Press have formed a partnership to provide digital editions
of press titles as part of the library system’s
D-Scribe Digital Publishing Program.
Thirty-nine books from the Pitt Latin American Series published by the
University of Pittsburgh Press are now available online, freely
accessible to scholars and students worldwide. Ultimately, most of the
Press’ titles older than 2 years will be provided through this open
access platform.

Connecting to Collections: A Call to Action (for

Project Gutenberg and World eBook Library
plan to make ''a third of a million'' e-books available free for a month
at the first World eBook Fair. Downloads will be available at the fair's
Web site from July 4, the 35th anniversary of Project Gutenberg's
founding, through Aug. 4. The majority of the books will be contributed
by the World eBook Library. It otherwise charges $8.95 (euro6.98) a year
for access to its database of more than 250,000 e-books, documents and
articles. But the book fair will not be the last chance for e-bookworms
to devour works ranging from ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'' to
''Old Indian Legends,'' not to mention dictionaries and thesauruses,
without paying for them. Project Gutenberg founder Michael Hart, who
first announced the ambitious plan a month ago, said Friday the partners
are on track to make 1 million books available for the annual fair's
one-month run in 2009, with more appearing in subsequent years. About
100,000, he said, will be permanently available at the handful of
Project Gutenberg sites on the Internet.
