Google announced in 2004 a collaboration with institutional libraries, such as the University Of Michigan Library, to digitize large quantities of books: the Google Books Library Project. Public domain books are made available to the public on an open access basis. Copyrighted material is treated in one of three ways. Google negotiates with cooperating publishers through its Google Books Partner Program for "full view" or "limited preview" of entire books, pages or sections within books. For scanned books without copyright permissions, "snippets" may be made available to the public. For remaining books basic information is provided without ability to search within the book. Snippets inform readers about the relevance of the book to their subject of inquiry. A Google Book Search conducted January 26, 2009 located books listed below as having been published by the Museum.
