Everyone I've spoken with came away impressed as far as the amount of resources being available for patron use. I think it's just a matter of making this tool available for the library staff--and getting them comfortable using it with the patron.

I really, really like the bookshelf approach to different topics--for library use, this could help replace items that are checked out due to a class project, book group, etc.

Interestingly enough, the Internet Archive has a similar tool, though I'm not sure if they have the depth of Google Books....

Thanks for the comment! If you check our libraryknowledge.com web site, there are some more training tools available!

Thank you for your introduction. Looks very interesting. I was wandering what your experiences are with the use of Google Books an Flips at your library.
