Web Access to Works in the Public Domain

Interesting blurb from LC Cataloging Newsline, Volume 13, no. 10, August 2005:

This project makes links from the LC catalog to full
electronic texts of items for which LC has an exact match in print
represented in the LC collections. The project depends on the
cooperation of "trusted" partner institutions such as research
libraries and other organizations that are digitizing freely
available works. LC provides links to the electronic versions from
its catalog records for the print versions. Two new collaborators
are the RAND Corporation and the Thurgood Marshall Law Library,
University of Maryland. In the case of the former, over 680 links
have been made to RAND publications through the RAND Web site http://www.rand.org/publications [August 2005]. In the second,
over 140 links have been made to publications of the United States
Commission on Civil Rights digitized by the Thurgood Marshall Law
Library, University of Maryland at
http://www.law.umaryland.edu/marshall/usccr/index.asp [August
2005].
