Google Book Search

Did you know that you can use Google to find books on a particular topic?  When you go to the Google home page, there is a menu in the top left corner.  The last item in that menu is “more”.  When you click on that a dropdown menu apperars and the first option is “books”.  When you click on it, it goes to the Google book search page.  Put in any topic and Google will find books related to that topic.  Next to the “Search Books” button is an “Advance Book Search” link.  Clicking on that link will take you to a page where you can enter more criteria for your search.  In the advanced search page, I put in the phrase “School to work” and limited my search to anything that has been published since 2000. It returned 1,432 books

You can narrow the search further by clicking on the links on the left that include books with a preview, full view, or public domain.

I thought it was cool.  Not sure where else I could go to find 1,432 references to the “School to work”
