Reporter�s Notebook: Google Goes to the Library Oxford University, for centuries the seat of learning in the western world, is lending some of its oldest books to Google so they can be scanned and read on the Internet. Harvard, Stanford, the University of Michigan and New York Public Library are also participating. Ronald Milne, acting director of Oxford�s Bodleian Library, and Wired magazine's Paul Boutin discuss the project, which will allow virtual access to 1,500,000 volumes from the 19th century.
