About Mass Digitization:
Millions of books from the University of California Libraries are being
scanned through our participation in mass digitization projects with
major partners such as Google, Microsoft and the Open Content Alliance.
 To do this economically and with some speed, mass digitization is based
on the efficient photographing of books, page-by-page, and subjecting
those images to OCR software to produce searchable text.  Mass
digitization projects expand the ability of University libraries to give
faculty, students and the public access to an astounding wealth of
information and explore exciting new service models and paradigms.
