Magazines will soon be searchable on Google

Google Inc. has announced that it will be teaming up with some of the publishers to make old magazines available online. The new offering allows users to browse magazine covers and look into individual issues of them, available exactly the same way as they first appeared in print, including all the advertisements!

This move is yet another step towards their goal of organizing the world’s information. The magazines that have been scanned and digitized, are presented alongside Book Search results. Some of the notable publications scanned include

• Maximum PC
• Popular Science
• Men’s Health
• New York Magazine

As part of the deal, the publishers (of the mags) get links leading users back to the publication’s homepage.
