Thing 14

Google Book Search: I did it and it wasn't tedious. Since the object of Google Book Search is to inform you where to buy or borrow the book, not to have you actually read the book on line; I believe this site to be informative enough so one can find ones book of desire. I usually use Amazon, but now that I know about this site I shall use it as well.

You asked me to tell you what benefits does Google Book Search have for our libraries.!

It may be that Google Book Search has more to offer than say Amazon.com, or maybe a bigger selection in a certain subject !! not really sure since I'm not familiar with either one.

Extending access to information?

I typed in the title Birds of the Smoky Mountains and there was nothing too preview. I was able to see where I could purchase this book and what library had it available but could not view it. :(


I typed in making digital postcards and the review was limited. They did however let me know where I could buy this great book.
