MIT Press Announces a New Collaboration
Internet
Archive
collaborates with the MIT Press and Arcadia to digitize and provide access to
hundreds of MIT Press backlist titles.
The
MIT Press and the Internet Archive are pleased to announce a partnership, with
support from Arcadia, to scan, preserve, and enable libraries to lend hundreds
of MIT Press books that are currently not available digitally. This
partnership represents an important advance in bringing acclaimed titles across
the MIT Press’ publications in science, technology, art, and architecture to a
global online audience.
The
joint initiative is a crucial early step in Internet Archive’s ambitious plans
to digitize and provide public access to four million books, by partnering
widely with university presses and other publishers to source print works, and
enable readers to borrow the digital versions from any library that owns the
physical book, as well as from archive.org.
