Can't remember where you found that quote? Did someone grab the last copy of the book you needed from the library? Google Books can help!
With term paper deadlines coming up we wanted to share tips on how Google Books can help with your research.
On Google Books, you can search the full text of over 10 million books in 40 languages, right from your dorm room. Start your search with a title or author, or use Advanced Search to browse by language, subject, or date published.
When you click a book result, you'll be able to see anything from a few short excerpts to the entire book. If a book is out of copyright, you can read the whole title, download it, and print a full copy.
When you're on a book, click the "About this book" tab on the top left of the page to find a table of contents, related books, references to the book from the Web and academic sources, and even a map of places mentioned in the book.
With My library, create a personalized set of books that you can search and label. Labeling is a great way to keep track of sources. You can have one label for your History paper and another for that Spanish essay due last week. To start, click "Add to my shared library" under a book result or on the right-hand column when viewing a book.
For every title in Google Books, you'll see a link to find the book in a library. If you're connected from campus, we'll show you where you can find the book right in the stacks of your university library.
