Internet company Google Inc (Nasdaq:GOOG) has announced that it has added the Bavarian State Library in Munich, Germany to its Google Book Search Library Project.
As part of Google's Book Search project the company is digitalising books to make them searchable at http://books.google.com. Publishers and authors have, however, been extremely critical of the idea.
The Bavarian State Library is reportedly the biggest non-English library to be involved with the project and will contribute books in German, English, French, Spanish, Italian and Latin.
