Information Research Weblog

According to the book entitled, "Research in the Digitalized Age," written by Leslie F. Stebbins in chapter 2 states how to evaluate books and e-books, shortcuts for researchers and etc. During class I discovered a great resource for accessing free e-books which is Google Books. Google provides the majority of the certain books and for some books the entire book is easily accessible for free. How crazy is this? I never really looked into Google Books until I took LIS 620: Advanced Reference. I always thought there was a fee that was associated with accessing e-books. I will definitely explore this database instead of buying books that are available online for free.
