• Refdesk -

• Google Books -

  In one way tracing back to 1996, but as an official Google project since 2002, Google Books allows one to search the full text of real books just like web search. If the book is out of copyright, or the publisher has given Google permission, one can see a preview of the book, and in some cases the entire text. If it's in the public domain, one is free to download a PDF copy. There are reference pages for every book so one can quickly find all kinds of relevant information: book reviews, web references, maps and more. Google is currently connecting readers with books in two ways: the Partner Program and the Library Project.

• Google Scholar -

  Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations. Google Scholar helps you identify the most relevant research across the world of scholarly research.
