Why did Cornell University Library enter into partnership with Google?
The partnership supports Cornell University Library’s long-standing commitment to make its collections broadly available and the university’s goal to increase the impact of Cornell beyond campus boundaries. It is vitally important that Cornell’s remarkable print collections be digitally maintained and widely available for education, research and the needs of future generations. As a leader in digitization and preservation efforts, Cornell University Library has been scanning material for many years. Our partnership with Google will permit us to continue with this task on a much larger scope and scale.
