google_magazines_archive.pngGoogle does it again. It announced that it will be digitizing all issues of (certain) magazines.

Currently archives of magazines like Popular Science, Men’s Health, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, New York Magazine, Maximum PC, Popular Mechanics etc. are available in full.

This is due to the court agreement that Google won:

Three years ago, the Authors Guild, the Association of American Publishers and a handful of authors and publishers filed a class action lawsuit against Google Book Search.

Today we’re delighted to announce that we’ve settled that lawsuit and will be working closely with these industry partners to bring even more of the world’s books online. Together we’ll accomplish far more than any of us could have individually, to the enduring benefit of authors, publishers, researchers and readers alike. source

That means we can expect more and more books and magazines to be available online in full soon.

    This is great. I found the book that I’m looking for about Guide to writing well in Grammar section. I guess we don’t have to use rapidshare to download ebook anymore.

    Wow. This is cool—almost hard to believe. This will be a valuable resource to students doing research. It will be interesting to see if Google finds a way to monetize the magazines online.

    Nice concept, however is this a free service? Surely people will just begin to wait for the magazine to hit Google rather than buying a copy of it?

  17. By Ades on Dec 15, 2008

    yes it’s free.
