The UC Davis Library has become the 6th UC site to participate in the Google project, joining NRLF, UCSC, UCSD, UCLA, and UCSF. In June 2013, the UC Davis Library began sending public domain (out-of- copyright) books and journals to be digitised as part of UC's partnership in the Google Books Library Project.
During the course of the project, UC Davis expects to digitise approximately 45,000 volumes, from regular and special collections, including the Viticulture & Enology Collection. Public domain materials digitised from the UC Davis collections will be available in full view within HathiTrust, several months after scanning. These materials will also be fully viewable in Google Books.
More information about the UC Davis project can be found on the UC Davis University Library site.
The California Digital Library (CDL) provides project planning, coordination, and technical leadership for the UC Libraries' participation in the Google Books partnership. This work continues to benefit the UC community, as well as researchers and readers throughout the world. Amongst all of its projects collectively, the UC Libraries have digitised over 3.7 million volumes. Over 500,000 of those volumes are in the public domain and available to all via Google Book Search, the Internet Archive, and HathiTrust.
