Thing 15

Well that is amazing-Google Book Search but especially Google Scholar.
With Scholar I was able to see if VU held the item and eventually get through to the full text of a peer reviewed journal article. Also it was interesting to read in the background information that maybe people will actually use libraries more because of the existence of these Google products. One author argued that because Google Scholar aleted people to libraries which hold the item , users would likely find out more about the library holdings and want to use the library to access them.
