world's top universities and libraries to make them searchable and
discoverable online.
This presentation will include: opening remarks by University Librarian
Brian E. C. Schottlaender; an overview of the UC mass
digitization-Google plan by Ivy Anderson of UC's California Digital
Library; a discussion of Google Book Search for the scholar/researcher

project by Martha Hruska, Associate University Librarian for Collection
Services.
A continental breakfast will be provided.
