The Internet is a bottomless pit of information alright. But often searches on Google and Yahoo throw up endless links to mostly unrelated, even dubious, stuff. That explains why both search engines are chasing the digital library dream. Digital libraries attach content-specific and descriptive metadata to electronic resources, making searches accurate and quick. If Google Inc is working on a project to scan the contents of five of the world's great academic libraries to make the books freely available online, Yahoo has just announced an Open Content Alliance, which would act as a storehouse of both public domain and copyright materials.
