Microsoft’s MSN has announced MSN book search that will include the content from books, academic materials, periodicals and other print resources. MSN has joined Open Content Alliance for digitizing books.

Christopher Payne, corporate vice president of MSN Search at Microsoft Corp., said, “We are committed to working with various institutions to combine our technology and software innovation to deliver rich, treasured content that is not broadly available today.

By combining our deep software investments in advanced reading technologies, productivity- and community-based applications, such as MSN Messenger, and new capabilities in the Windows platform will combine to make a powerful book search experience that will help people access new information and interact with it in entirely new ways”.
