Google Books:
Google Books is the worlds’ most
comprehensive index of full text books that you are able to download. It is a service
that Google offers to anyone. Google Books also gives you the option of buying
or borrowing any book that you are looking for. It also gives you links with
information of where you can purchase or borrow a book. You can use Google books
for research or just reading for pleasure. Magazines are also available since
they have been scand and converted to text. Google books has a four access
level of the books or magazines thhat are offered.
1.
Full view is
where you can download the whole book.
2.
Pre-view is for
print only and you are able to see what the publisher allows. It could be one
chapter or two.
3.
Snippet view is two
or three lines of text since Google doesn’t have permission to print or show
anything regarding that book.
4.
No preview is
book that has not been igitiedzed or scan into Google books and the only information
that is available is like a library card catalog.
I personally have not used Google Books
but it is something that I think I should look into since it seems like another
source to do research.
