Grant funds open-source challenge to Google library (ZDNet)

ZDNet reports that the nonprofit Internet Archive has received a million dollar grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. "The archiving organization's Open-Access Text Archive is an open-source alternative to book-scanning efforts like the ones from Google and Microsoft. Internet Archive, perhaps best known for its WayBack Machine archive of Web pages by date--is also an online digital library of text, audio, software, images and video content."
