Why did Google want to partner with the University of Texas?
The University of Texas Libraries is the fifth largest academic library in the United States. The collections of the University of Texas Libraries are the result of more than one hundred years of continuing commitment by librarians, faculty, students, and private donors to build one of the great library collections of the world. Containing more than nine million volumes and providing access to the latest electronic research materials, the library collects the products of human knowledge in all formats. In addition, the University’s library collections have several areas of particular strength, such as the Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection. Together, these collections offer significant value in addressing Google’s objective of making the world’s books discoverable.
