15. Play with Google Book Search and Google Scholar
Google books :
What a tease! Just make sure the "full view" button is clicked BEFORE launching into finding a book, otherwise there is only a "preview" available, and what a difference between the choices under the "preview" compared to the "full view" banner.
Liked all the added extras like "buy this book" and "serach in this book" but then again, for the crap selection in the "full view" offered under the "Mystery" heading, what would be the point? Who would want to read the stuff on offer anyway? Life's too short!
Google Scholar :
Searched Google scholar for "Victoria Univeristy Melbourne" and fould a few listings. Liked the hook to the catalogue via the "Check VU Library" link, and found one that had a tag "Get this in print at VU Library". A link to one title took me to the eprint server but there was an error, Could not find the file: /archive/00000127/ yet the HTML link was fine.
Found a few references to the VU Eprint repositiry via Google Scholar via the a search under "Victoria University eprint repository" but also found stuff from Monash during the same search, so I'd imagine searchers would have to be prepared to "filter" the info retrieved.
