Google adds magazines to online book archive
AFP - 2 hours 33 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AFP) - - Google announced on Tuesday that it had begun adding magazines to its online archive of books in a partnership with publishers.
The Internet search giant, in a posting on the company blog, said it had begun digitizing millions of pages from New York Magazine, Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, Men's Health, Ebony and other publications.
It said the magazines are being scanned in full-color and made available through Google Book Search, the vast online library created by the Mountain View, California, company.
A search on books.google.com will now not only bring up links to relevant books but also to magazine articles related to the query. Users can also use advanced search on Google Book Search to search through magazines only.
Entire issues of magazines can be scrolled through using the "next page" or "back" buttons.
Only a few magazine titles are available for the moment but Google said it plans to expand their number.
"Eventually, we'll also begin blending magazine results into our main Google.com search results," Google said.
In late October, Google settled a copyright dispute with the Association of American Publishers and the Authors Guild over the Internet giant's plans to scan millions of books.
The agreement called for Google to pay 125 million dollars to establish a "Book Rights Registry," resolve claims by authors and publishers and to cover legal fees from a lawsuit filed against Google three years ago.
US authors and book publishers filed a class-action lawsuit against Google after it announced the Google Book Search project.
