Google Book Search
Now this is something everyone studying college should have in their browser’s bookmark folders. I never actually thought that doing assignments in colleges would be so difficult. I didn’t actually think I would start getting assignments within two week of joining college but still. The professor who gives me assignment insists that we read some book and do it rather than getting stuff of net. The worst part is that I rarely find anything related to my topic on net which becomes quite tough then and as I have late college its quite tough to go to library and search for a relevant book as it might take hours to find something relevant. I always thought if we could google for books and find the specific page which we needed to look and I guess google had answered this sometime back.
One of my non-geeky friends was trying to help with my assignment and ended up giving me a link to this. I couldn’t believe that something like that existed. It was more of a dream come true. All I needed was the right keywords and it was done. I really sound like those cheap ass advertising comments that I get on my blog but really it was very helpful. It gives preview of books which one can then read from the browser itself. Some books have full book preview and some of them have just some pages for preview and one can actually select that which type of books we want to see which is also a good feature.
I was not mood in writing review of something old but still I thought it was something good and useful to guys like me who have Professors sitting on their head wanting them to go through a ton lots of books just to get two page of information, though its not bad its hectic and tiresome. I guess google gods always have answers for everything.
Oh yeah forgot that some guys in schools have these kinds of teachers too so its good for them too, didnt want to make it seem that college is tougher than school.
