Barbara Quint reports in today's Information Today on the Gale Group's ambitious program to digitize most of the English language books published in the 18th century --more than 150,000 books, more than 20 million pages. The digital editions will be released over a three year period starting in mid-2003. They will not be free; libraries will choose between annual subscription and outright purchase.

Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
