OMG!! Google + my college's library = GENIUS! **REPOST**

Detroit Free Press

Google, the ubiquitous Internet search engine, is taking the University of Michigan's library from Ann Arbor to the world.

U-M and the California-based information company will announce an agreement today under which the complete text of all 7 million volumes in U-M's library will be digitized -- that is, turned into a computer-readable format -- and made instantly searchable by anyone using Google.

Can't wait for this! 🙂

lol i bet when that thing comes out and people use it regularly they are going to ask how people went to college pre-google-library days, just like how we said how the hell people went to college pre-internet days now.
