Google Book Search
Google Book Search allows you to search the full text of our large and growing index of books, from popular titles to old, out-of-print and public domain volumes, to find pages that include your search terms. Once you find a given book, you can browse available pages, search further in that book, find online reviews, and learn where to buy the book or check it out of a nearby library, and in some cases, even read the entire title online.
Google Book Search can enhance your lesson plans in all kinds of ways, by enabling you to search for, and helping you locate, countless volumes you might not have been able to find any other way. Book Search finds can enhance everything from your bibliographies to your lesson plans; you and your students can access the full text of out-of-copyright books and search the full text of most other books to find the right volumes for any given assignment, project, or lesson.
Google Book Search will also enhance your students’ research by allowing them to access information from thousands of books with one quick search. Students can access and read the full text of out-of-copyright books, learn where to locate hard-to-find volumes in libraries or bookstores, and easily create more thorough bibliographies.

Teachers speak out
 As a chemistry teacher I try to take my classes to the "computer classrooms" or to the computers in the school library several times a month. My students have found Google Book Search to be especially valuable in reducing research time and in broadening sources for research far beyond our school’s library. Frankly, I don’t see how students would be able to complete research assignments without Google’s great tool. The secondary school research paper has entered a new era where the cost of access to reference books has all but disappeared.
