Oceanography library enters the digital era San Diego Union Tribune
Entrails the library at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, rows of century-old books that chart the beginnings of up to the minute oceanography are guarded behind a locked gate.
Some chronicle famous treks to the South Pole, while others describe more undistinguished adventures, such as a “plankton expedition” in the 1880s. All of them are deemed too fragile or valuable to licence in the general stacks.
A pioneering project by Scripps and Google Books has figuratively unlocked the barrier and made the institution’s vast resources available online. Over the past 1½ years, they have digitized an estimated 100,000 volumes from the La Jolla library as part of a broader crack to put texts online.
Through word and phrase searching, Google users can identify and review practically half of Scripps’ books from their computer without setting foot on the lower campus of the University of California San Diego. They have like access to works housed at universities from Stanford to Oxford.
