Princeton, N.J. - The Princeton University Library  announced on Tuesday that 
it will contribute about one million public domain  books to Google's project 
to digitize literary works and make them searchable on  the Web.

Princeton is the 12th major library to agree to participate in  the project, 
joining the New York Public Library and libraries at universities  including 
Oxford, Harvard, Stanford and the University of California.  

Google's book-scanning project has also drawn controversy, in the form  of a 
lawsuit from major publishers who claim Google's use of their  
still-copyrighted works in its book index constitutes infringement.
