books_logo_sm.pngGoogle Books searches the full text of books and magazines scanned by Google . It works just like web search but not all books are available in full text. If you find a book you would like and it's not available you might be able to borrow the book from a Library.

  • On the left-hand side of the screen select Get this book in print
  • In the drop-down menu choose Find in a library - this will take you to WorldCat.

Wworldcat.jpgorldCat is the world's largest network of library content and services. When you search WorldCat you are searching the collections of libraries in your community and thousands more around the world. WorldCat provides details of the book e.g. title, author, publisher and a list of libraries where the book is available. You can then choose to search UQ Library or another library.
