British Library makes Google search deal (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13836332)

QuoteThousands of pages from one of the world's biggest collections of historic books, pamphlets and periodicals are to be made available on the internet.

The British Library has reached a deal with search engine Google about 250,000 texts dating back to the 18th Century.

It will allow readers to view, search and copy the out-of-copyright works at no charge on both the library and Google books websites.

The library gets more than a million visitors a year...

One of the upsides of the digital era and the Internet.
