OCA initiative and making public domain books from university libraries available online.
Open Content Alliance (OCA) scan books, and  makes them available to any search engine.

The Triangle Research Libraries Network recently announced that they -- that is to say the libraries at Duke University, North Carolina Central University, North Carolina State University, and UNC -- will be joining the OCA initiative and making public domain books from university libraries available online.

What is the OCA? Okay, let's start with the Internet Archive. Available at http://www.archive.org/index.php, the Internet Archive contains, in addition to an archive of old Web pages, a massive amount of freely available content -- over 47,000 live concerts! Over 114,000 movies! Over 230,000 audio recordings! And over 350,000 texts.
