(dailyprincetonian.com): Around 70 percent of the 1 million books that will eventually be included in the Google Books digital archive have already been digitized. The initiative for digitization began in early 2007, when the University Library and Google agreed to a six-year contract to make less than one-tenth of the University’s 11 million holdings — which include manuscripts and periodicals as well as books — available online through Google Book Search. With 12 million books in more than 300 languages digitized so far, Google is moving forward with its project by soliciting research proposals.
