Norway Is Digitizing All Its Books And Making Them Free To Read Online

The National Library of Norway is digitizing all the books in its collection, processing the text to make it searchable, and making them available to read online.

It's similar to the mass digitization efforts in the UK and Finland, but Norway has taken the extra step of making agreements with many publishers to allow anyone with a Norway IP address to access copyrighted material.
