YALE LIBRARY, MICROSOFT PARTNER ON DIGITAL PROJECT

摘要

Yale University Library and Microsoft Corporation have agreed to digitize 100,000 volumes found only in the Yale collections. Initially, the project will focus on the digitization of out-of-copyright English-language books, which will then become available to readers through Microsoft's Live Search interface. The library and Microsoft have selected Kirtas Technologies, based in Victor, NY, to carry out the process, based on its proven excellence and state-of-the art equipment. The library has successfully worked with Kirtas previously, and the company will establish a digitization center in the New Haven area.
