Activity 7: Google Books

Wow, I've never used Google Books before and it's fantastic! As a Teacher Librarian this is such a valuable tool for searching for books and where to buy them. I also like how they give you related books (although some of their choices are a little strange!) I loved looking through old Time magazines from the 1950's, it's so interesting to have access to older publications.
I would also find this a great tool when looking for books for pleasure, although nothing beats going into a book shop and browsing... call me old fashioned!!

  1. Hi Lytia, thanks so much for your comments about the magazines on Google Books. I'd explored the books, but had completely missed the Magazines. Thanks a heap. Margie
