The Triangle Research Libraries Network joined the Open Content Alliance and other major research libraries in the nation in sharing its content digitally online free of charge, members announced last week.
The network includes the research libraries at Duke University, North Carolina Central University, North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
In the first year, Duke plans to contribute select content for digitalization.
UNC and NCSU will convert their public domain books into high-resolution digital files that will be available online to all on the Internet Archive Web site. The two schools will begin by hosting a Scribe machine, given by the Internet Archive, to scan all their books.
"Because 70 percent of the titles held within TRLN libraries are unique to a single member institution, coordinated digitization efforts will offer an opportunity to expand access to and use of the extensive research collections held within TRLN," an NCSU release reads.
