Head Tale

I know this is my second Google-related
FFL in a row but this one’s worth it. Google has partnered with the
American Library Association to create a special page in honour of Banned Books Week (Sept 23-30). (This is the equivalent of Freedom to Read Week in Canada which happens during the last week of February and is organized by the Book & Periodical Council of Canada.)

Micheal
Geist spoke at the Canadian Library Association conference this year in
Ottawa and called Google Book Search a “card catalogue for the 21st
century” and I can’t think of a better way to describe it than that.
The Google/ALA page only allows you to browse a selected few pages
since most of the books are still covered by copyright. But can you
imagine the day when you can search the entire book quickly and
completely?
