I was interested to see this note on the home page of Google Book Search:  
![googlemidterm.png](https://www.lorcandempsey.net/content/images/wordpress/lorcan/googlemidterm.png)  
It links through to a page of ‘research tips’ based on the use of Google Book Search.

> Can’t remember where you found that quote? Did someone grab the last copy of the book you needed from the library? Google Book Search can help! \[[Research Tips from Google Book Search](https://books.google.com/googlebooks/midterms.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net#utm%5Fsource=gbs%2Bhome%20page%20promo&utm%5Fmedium=link&utm%5Fcampaign=midterms)\]

It is nice to see it mention the Worldcat link …  
[![googleworldcat.png](https://www.lorcandempsey.net/content/images/wordpress/lorcan/googleworldcat.png)](https://books.google.com/url?id=zutxr7rGc%5FQC&pg=PP1&q=https://worldcatlibraries.org/wcpa/oclc/52301582&clientid=librarylink&usg=AFQjCNEnJsvjdfkCWvetwwOJREFfork4lQ&source=gbs%5Fbuy%5Fs&cad=1)  
I note that it does not mention Google Scholar.  
Aside: a [search](https://www.google.com/search?as%5Fq=book&ref=lorcandempsey.net) on ‘book’ in Google returns Google Book Search as the first result.
