SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 12: Google said on Thursday that another US university would add its books to the Internet search titan's controversial project to make the world's written works available online.

The library books at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Wisconsin Historical Society will be digitised and added to the virtual shelves of the Google Books Library Project.

The combined total of approximately 7.2 million works in the two libraries were billed as one of the largest collections of historical documents.—AFP
