…and book access for all.

In case you still read books, you’ll be excited about this.

Internet Archive, based in The Presidio in San Francisco (along with all the other non-profits in the universe), has just launched the demo version of an amazing project, called The Open Library.

You’ve probably heard a lot about how various organizations have been dreaming up this idea of putting all the world’s books together into one virtual library.

The Open Library is it. It’s just in the beginning stages, but it’s incredibly impressive and exciting. And free.

And, of course, open. So you can contribute your own scanned books, article critiques, and catalouging know-how.
