TECH TIP & BOOK TIP:  Google Books 15 Year Anniversary and Updates

An all in one this week as books and technology collide!  Google Books is celebrating its 15th anniversary with some new updates.  The goal of Google Books was to digitize the world's books so they would be available for all.  Currently, there are 40 million books in 400 languages at Google Books.  

To access the updated Google Books, do a search on whatever topic you want, click on a book and then select the "Try New Google Books" on the right hand side. 


Once in the new format, you can now see on the book's landing page a description of the book, an author history, and full citations in all the major formats.  



They also have a fun interactive experiment where Google will pick a book for you based on what images you select. 

 And I love this Icelandic tradition, reading books and eating chocolate!  Sounds like the best day ever to me 😍
