HARVARD Knowledge for FREE!?!...the way to Googlezon...

Google announced a new project ! Google Print

As thay say:

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Since a lot of the world's information isn't yet online, we're helping to get it there.

Remember the 2014 EPIC scenario? ;-)

And the Google Print project is not all! Google has more surprises:

On November 18th 2004 Google also launched its BETA version of GOOGLE SCHOLAR – an academic literature search engine…

Google Scholar enables you to search specifically for scholarly literature, including peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints, abstracts and technical reports from all broad areas of research.
You can use Google Scholar to find articles from a wide variety of academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories and universities, as well as scholarly articles available across the web.

And the best is still to come!!!
Did you know this (I found it on @rgumente):

Some time ago, Google has embarked on an ambitious, at that time secret, effort known as Project Ocean, according to a person involved with the operation. With the cooperation of Stanford University(the alma mater of the Google's founders), the company now plans to digitize the entire collection of the vast Stanford Library published before 1923, which is no longer limited by copyright restrictions. The project could add millions of digitized books that would be available exclusively via Google.

It seems now the project became larger with Harvard, University of Michigan, Oxford and New York public Library databases being added. The implications are huge since virtually everyone will have "access to some of the most important knowledge sources on the planet for free" -- or, better said, at Google's cost.

The question is: 'What's in it for Google?' --of course more content indexed and whats really important, some exclusive content.

And the revenues coming from the contextual ads must well worth the effort...

Google rulz!
