A work-around that the Federal Depository Libraries created to
ensure Federal Docs (scanned by Google) remain available to the public
through the CIC
university consortium.
"The libraries of the CIC universities
are partnering with Google to digitize a comprehensive collection of U.S.
Federal Documents. It is believed this collection will comprise between 1 and
1.5 million volumes. Digital facsimiles of successfully scanned Federal
Documents from CIC institutions will be accessible through Google Book Search,
with copies also being returned to the HathiTrust Digital Repository <http://www.hathitrust.org> , where
public domain material can be universally
accessed."
