Google announced this week that they have added twelve more Universities to their book scanning and digitizing project.  The group, including Universities of Minnesota, Michigan, Michigan State, Chicago, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Northwestern, Ohio State, Pennsylvania State, Purdue, and Wisconsin-Madison will allow Google to scan a collective 78 million volumes.  No word on whether YouTube gets the replay rights to Big-10 football (Inside Google Book Search blog).
