In the past days, Google has released a new feature which offers digitalized books when searching for them through their search engine. Some books are wholly available, while others have a restricted number of pages that can be viewed. The project is still in its early stages, but it might also include more up to date books for perusal besides those that are copyright free. It sounds promising, don't you think?

You can find more about it here (http://print.google.com/)

What an interesting idea for Google. Many of the pages look as though a really good copy of the books they offer.
Thank you, crisaor, for directing us there. :)

Google did another recent project called 'Google scholar', that was a search engine for scholarly journals and articles, but the problem with it was that the engine was still based on 'most popular' which threw a span in the works because ideal academic research is based on uncovering new or lesser known data.

Soooo, that was completely unrelated :rolleyes:. Silly Google! :p

Understand that I have to check out some of those links, but I can't see one which can lead me directly to the books/texts archives which I can read online...

Thanks a bunch though Cris :)
