Die Presse reports on "an enormous project" to digitize 400,000 books and make them available on the Internet. Under the terms of the €30-million contract signed between Google and the Austrian National Library (ÖNB), in 2011 the Mountain View company will begin digitization of all of the ÖNB's out-of-copyright works dating from the 16th to 19th centuries. At the end of the project, 11% library's reserves will be freely accessible on the world wide web — a development which the daily hails as "a victory for the ÖNB and for the Internet."
A conversation with investigative reporters Stefano Valentino and Giorgio Michalopoulos, who have dissected the dark underbelly of green finance for Voxeurop and won several awards for their work.
