Re: [ARSCLIST] Digitizing libraries

[Mwcpc6@xxxxxxx]

The Prelinger Library Digital Collection now includes over 1,630 monographs, 
serials volumes and print ephemera.  More are continually being added.  All 
are freely available in a variety of downloadable formats, including searchable 
PDFs, DjVu, and raw (uncorrected) OCRed text.  The PDFs are color facsimiles 
and may be printed and bound if desired.

The library may be accessed and metadata searched here:

http://www.archive.org/details/prelinger_library

Approximately 100 works relating to the history of educational and sponsored 
film are currently in the collection.

A sample search for works with "film" in the title, may be seen here:

http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=film%20%20AND%20%28contributor%3A%22Pr
elinger%20Library%22%20AND%20format%3Apdf%29%20AND%20-mediatype%3Acollection

More works may be seen by substituting "films" or "motion pictures" for 
"film" in the previous query.

32 works pertaining to the history, technology and sociology of television 
may be accessed through the following query:

http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=television%20AND%20%28contributor%3A%2
2Prelinger%20Library%22%20AND%20format%3Apdf%29%20AND%20-mediatype%3Acollectio

Many more titles, including runs of key periodicals, will be added in 2007.

The entire collection (currently 100,000 books and growing) from several 
research libraries may be searched fulltext at http://books.live.com.

Please feel free to pass this on to others who may be interested.
