As reported by Mashable, Microsoft is getting rid of its Live Search Books and Live Search Academic projects. The company will be “reaching out to participating publishers and libraries. We are encouraging libraries to build on the platform we developed with Kirtas, the Internet Archive, CCS, and others to create digital archives available to library users and search engines.”
Google Book Search will press on, however. Microsoft’s departure from the field leaves Google as one of the sole major players in the task of digitizing published material.
