Many titles in the Miller Bee Collection are being digitized in conjunction with the <a href="http://www.library.wisc.edu/news/releases/2006/20061012-GoogleBook.html">UW-Madison Libraries' participation in the Google Book Project</a>. </span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Decorated trade bindings, many of them from the Department of Special Collections, are included in the digital collection <a href="http://bindings.lib.ua.edu/about.html">Publishers' Bindings Online</a> (PBO), a joint venture of the University of Alabama Libraries and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries.
