Wow! I just came across a great resource via Free Technology for Teachers Blog: Google Advanced Books Search. Up to this point, if I’d wanted to find an online book, I’d just do a normal search for the book. Using Google’s Book Search is a much more powerful option.

Instructions:

1. Go to <books.google.com>.
2. Click Advanced Search to the right of the search bar.
3. Put in whatever title or information is pertinent.
4. In the search field, click Public Domain if you wish to download and print the book.
5. Click Google Search at the top right.
6. Choose your title.

Another benefit is that after you’ve chosen the title, you’re able to read it in the excellent Google Books Reader. This is a fantastic resource, particularly if you don’t have specific or enough selections in your library. Give it a try.
