Google Book Search

Google Book Search [http://books.google.com/books]

Google Book Search offers both author name and keyword searching of the full text of books and retrieves purchase or borrowing information. The book title is linked to a card catalog entry and possibly some snippets of text, or a few full pages or, if the book is out of copyright, the entire book. In all cases, there will be links to online bookstores. Many books have a "Find this book in a library" link to a union catalog that simultaneously searches WorldCat and 15 other catalogs representing 30 countries (e.g. CISTI, BLL).
