Microsoft partners with Yahoo to digitise libraries

Microsoft takes on Google by joining

Open Content Alliance

Software giant Microsoft has joined the Open Content Alliance (OCA) and Yahoo to become a direct rival to Google in the scramble to digitise the world's libraries. MSN, the internet search and community division of Microsoft, will launch MSN Book Search next year.

MSN Book Search will also deliver results from academic material, periodicals and other print resources, putting the service in direct competition with Google Scholar and Print search services.

Microsoft said it's joining the OCA-led digitisation programme because half of online questions go unanswered, according to its research.
