Question: Why would you use Google Book Search?

Answer: Google Book Search searches the full-text of the books in its inventory.  Library Search and WorldCAT are limited to searching only title, author, subject heading and other specific and limited information about a book.

Because Google Book Search lets you search within books, you can see a table of contents or an index or just a portion of a book.  You can then locate the book in a nearby library.
