Google Book search

I am not sure whether Google is going to be the new Microsoft or not. However I really like iGoogle.

As of Google book search, I think it is useful to students cause it has the popular passages and reviews for classic novels. For non fictions it is useful to be able to read the contents page to see whether it is what you want before placing hold. The reviews given can help to determine whether the book worth purchasing. Other books written by the same authors is also listed which will assist in acquisition and help librarians answer queries especially if patrons want to know the series or sequel.
