Google's Library Up and Running

["William Walsh" <libwdw@langate.gsu.edu>]

This morning's post to Slashdot
<http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/03/21/1237243&threshold=-1&tid=217&tid=95>
on Google Print has generated a number of comments, including posts from
readers complaining about the interface and those offering tips on hacking
Google Print.  For those who missed it, the original post stated:

"An anonymous reader writes 'It seems that Google Print results are
beginning to appear on searches. For those who don't know, Google has been
scanning from libraries from some of the world's greatest universities in
order to compile a freely accessible online library. An easy way to turn
up these results is to simply type 'book', and then whatever you want to
search for. For instance, book origin of species will turn up the full
text of Charles Darwin's controversial treatise."

Does anyone know if any of the titles currently appearing are part of the
Library Project, or are these part of the Google Print Publisher Program
