Two months after the University of California (U-C) begins its book-digitization project with Google, the university may provide the search company with 3,000 books a day for scanning. U-C is joining Harvard and Stanford Universities, the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, and the University of Oxford, as well as the New York Public Library, in the search-engine company\'s library-digitization effort. Under terms of a contract, U-C will provide at least 2.5 million volumes to Google for scanning, starting with 600 books a day and increasing over time to 3,000 volumes a day. Materials pulled for scanning will be back on the shelves of their libraries within 15 days. The university agrees to pay for pulling and shelving the books, bandwidth and hardware to store digital copies, rooms in which to do the digitization, and transportation of materials to those rooms, among other things. Google will cover its own labor, hardware and software to do the scanning, space in which to do scanning, and transportation to its spaces, along with other costs.
