Google Book Search adds magazines

Google plans to help bring more magazine archives and current magazines online as part of its Google Book Search project. It is now partnering with publishers to begin digitising millions of articles from titles such as New York Magazine, Popular Mechanics, and Ebony. Its plan is eventually to blend magazine results into the main Google.com search results.

'We think that bringing more magazines online is one more important step toward our long-standing goal of providing access to all the world's information,' said software engineer Dave Foulser in his blog post about the development.
