What is happening with Universal Library? Open letter to Dr. Raj Reddy at CMU

Connotea Imports 2012-07-31

Summary:

"I was also very excited when I first heard about Universal Library, which promised access to a huge range of books in Chinese, Indic languages and Arabic....Yet nothing seems to be happening around Universal Library – the website still has not been updated since 2007(!), and now most of the links to books seem to be broken....[S]ince much of the scanning has been done, it seems almost criminal to leave it without making those books available to the world. I wrote an e-mail to the project founder Dr. Raj Reddy at Carnegie Mellon back in November 2009, to ask about the progress, and never heard back. (I also wrote to the head of the project in India, Dr. Balakrishnan, to ask about this, but also did not hear back from him)...."
