How will our digital copies returned from Google be stored?
The CIC, acting on behalf of its member universities, entered into an agreement with the HathiTrust, a digital repository administered by the University of Michigan and Indiana University, for securing digital files created by Google or other sources. The HathiTrust infrastructure is a robust and secure environment for making content accessible in the short term, while ensuring its archival fidelity for the long term. HathiTrust currently holds over 6.3 million digital volumes and will continue to grow with the advance of Google digitization, as well as through deposit of files by other digitization partners and member libraries.
