Google Print
Google Print is now in beta. When I ran a quick search, I was amazed to find books with copyrights from the last five years. Patrons will probably be equally drawn to the quick and easy search and the results. Unfortunately, often the entire book is not available. So the list of results rivals those of the library's ebooks site, but ours are all there in their entirety and Google offers pieces. Even worse, there is no way to tell unless you click on a specific entry what amount of content you will find. The site is also missing an advanced search option with standard book parameters like publisher, author, publication date, etc. Keyword is all very nice, but one cannot truly drill down to the exact results one wants without more advanced search options. Google has a lot to learn from libraries.
