The Complete Guide to Using Google in Libraries : Research, User Applications, and Networking
From the Forward by Michael Lesk:Google has now developed services far beyond text search.Google software will translate languages and support collaborative writing.The chapters in this book look at many Google services, from music to finance, and describe how they can be used by students and other library users. Going beyond information resources, there are now successful collaboration services available from Google and others.You can make conference calls with video and shared screens using Google Hangouts,Writing documents with small numbers of colleagues often involved delays while each author in sequence took over the writing and made edits.Today Google Docs enables multiple people to edit the same document at once.An ingenious use of color lets each participant watch in real time as the other participants edit, and keeps track of who is doing what.If the goal is to create a website rather than to write a report, Google Sites is now one of the most popular platforms.Google is also involved in social networking, with services such as Google+Other tools view social developments over time and space.The Google Trends service, for example, will show you when and where people are searching for topics.Not surprisingly, searches for “swimwear” peak in June and searches for “snowmobile” peak in January. The Complete Guide to Using Google in Libraries, Volume 2: Research, User Applications, and Networking has 30 chapters divided into four parts: Research, User Applications, Networking, Searching.The contributors are practitioners who use the services they write about and they provide how-to advice that will help public, school, academic, and special librarians; library consultants, LIS faculty and students, and technology professionals.

Ancient Libraries
The circulation of books was the motor of classical civilization.However, books were both expensive and rare, and so libraries - private and public, royal and civic - played key roles in articulating intellectual life.This collection, written by an international team of scholars, presents a fundamental reassessment of how ancient libraries came into being, how they were organized and how they were used.Drawing on papyrology and archaeology, and on accounts written by those who read and wrote in them, it presents new research on reading cultures, on book collecting and on the origins of monumental library buildings.Many of the traditional stories told about ancient libraries are challenged.Few were really enormous, none were designed as research centres, and occasional conflagrations do not explain the loss of most ancient texts.But the central place of libraries in Greco-Roman culture emerges more clearly than ever.

Instead of stealing, individuals should utilize the borrowing system and return items on time to ensure that everyone can benefit from the library's resources.

Oxford Libraries Architecture
The libraries of the University of Oxford and its colleges are among the most splendid, but also the least-known, buildings in the city.Spanning over 800 years of architectural design and taste, nowhere else boasts such a wealth of libraries in so compact an area. While for centuries, Oxford’s libraries were repositories of knowledge in the form of manuscripts and printed books, to be consulted only by scholars, today they serve both the advancement of learning and the teaching needs of thousands of undergraduate and postgraduate students.Over the years, Oxford’s libraries attracted wealthy donors, some of whom, like John Radcliffe, gave generously to the provision of impressive and architecturally innovative buildings to house the books.These buildings are still among the most impressive features of Oxford’s architectural landscape, helping to define its visual identity.Architectural styles range from medieval wooden stalls to the asymmetrical stainless steel and glass of the twentieth-first century, and notable architects include Sir Christopher Wren, Nicholas Hawksmoor, Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, Sir Edwin Lutyens, Arne Jacobsen and Zaha Hadid. With exquisite, specially commissioned photography, this profusely illustrated book invites readers through the doors of over fifty beautiful and iconic libraries, revealing how they are steeped in history, learning and cultural change.
