Live Search Books Publisher Program, often referred to as Windows Live Publisher, was a part of the Live Search group of tools in Microsoft's Windows Live range of services. Windows Live Publisher allowed publishers to add their content to Live Search Books through the Publisher program.

On May 23, 2008, Microsoft announced the end of Live Search Books and Live Search Academic, both sites to be closed, with their results integrated into regular Search. The project scanned 750,000 books and indexed 80 million journal articles. [1] [2] Together with this announcement, it also concludes the Live Search Books Publisher Program.
