We continue to work on refining our selection policy. The first batch of materials sent were public domain monographs from monographs (pre-1923) from Olin Library and Engineering Library that are in English. Some of the subject areas to be digitized in subsequent shipments include agriculture, American history, English literature, astronomy, food and wine, general engineering, the history of science, home economics, hospitality and travel, human sexuality, labor relations, Native American materials, ornithology, veterinary medicine, and women's studies.
What is not being selected?
Currently no copyrighted or material, non-English language books, or serials are under consideration for digitization.
