Because of the potential benefits to the educational community and the public at large, the Harvard Library hopes eventually to make its in-copyright books available for digitization and discovery online. However, that is a decision the University will make in the future based on circumstances at the time. For the time being, Harvard is fully occupied dealing with out-of-copyright books, which have the additional important advantage that digital access to the entire work can be provided.
