When
Reference Universe, the
CCPL Catalog, and other
CCPL Research Tools are not working and
Inter Library Loan is not an option because of time
Google Book's vast collection of
scanned library books is a great source for the obscure and hard to find information on specific topics.
Google Book's is particularly useful when patrons are required to find monograph sources on topics we may not heavily collect in such as
hippotherapy in great depth or say primary sources on Marie Antoinette's wedding (two that I could find). Sometimes, it requires doing a screen capture and then printing that captured screen. Bottom line, when used within reason,
Google Book is another great tool in the tool shed so to speak. More posts on this topic are forthcoming...
