This sparked a particular interest for me since my father graduated from Cornell a number of years back. But according to the Google Book blog, Cornell has joined forces with the other schools that already exist in the project.
So what exactly does this entail for Google and Cornell? More books, more information, more data to sort through and organize. Google still has their mission statement at heart, “…to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” This is a key statement to look at when Google does anything, especially join forces with major universities such as Cornell.
How will this positively effect the Google Library Project? Simple; Cornell has thousands upon thousands of resources available and through Cornell’s agreed participation, Google can index data more quickly and at an ever faster rate than before.
Congratulations to Cornell for joining the force of the Library Project.
