The University of Wisconsin-Madison and Google have expanded their agreement to make more of the university’s huge collection of books available to the public, researchers and libraries and other universities.
The expanded project came about when Google reached a settlement with a broad class of authors and publishers in 2008 to put their works online.
In the new agreement, portions of UW-Madison’s in-copyright and out-of-print books will be able to be previewed for free, as well as the full texts to be accessible online for a price.
