Posted By Jodi Healy, Library Partnerships ManagerToday, we
announced that the
University of Lausanne Library in Lausanne, Switzerland is our 14th Book Search
Library Partner. We will work with our first French-language library partner to digitize the university's thousands of public domain works (which are not only in French but also in English, German, Latin, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, etc). We're excited to make this collection discoverable to readers and researchers around the world.
In the spirit of discovery, I decided to use
Google Book Search to see if I could find any nuggets of information on the University Library of Lausanne. I quickly discovered, on page 2,502 of the
Encyclopedia of Library and Information Science that, apparently, the Library of the University of Lausanne has "
roots in the Reformation." We're proud to welcome this historically significant library to our group of partners.
