More than 9,000 National Academies Reports now available in open access

"The National Academies has announced the completion of the first phase of a partnership with Google to digitize the library's collection of reports from 1863 to 1997, making them available – free, searchable, and in full text - through Google Book Search. The Academies hope that wider availability of its reports will be of use to scientists in developing countries as well as researchers and historians"
