library in Austin will be converted to digital format and added to
Google Books Library Project, according to the Internet search
powerhouse.

"The university's collection includes rare books and manuscripts
from early Latin American history, Google said.

major universities such as Harvard, Oxford, Complutense of Madrid
and the University of California to add their collections to its
virtual book shelves.
