Summary:

"The New York Public Library has received a $5 million grant from Arcadia, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin, to increase the amount of scholarly publications available digitally and improve the ways in which users can access material which were previously only available in print.   The grant will support the effort to improve the technologies that researchers will use to find and access these materials and establish the means to clear barriers, including copyright, to works in the public domain, orphan works, and out-of-print works. With this grant in place, the Library will be able to advance its goal of creating the most accessible collection of digital research materials possible and move closer to a shared vision of providing library users access to all of the world’s books in digital format...."
