NCompass Live: Why Use Google Books?

NCompass live smallJoin us for next week’s NCompass Live, “Why Use Google Books?”, on Wednesday, June 8, 10:00-11:00 am Central Time. Do your students need primary resources for a history project? Are the genealogists in your community trying to verify where an ancestor worked or lived between censuses? Is a local author writing a book set in 1908 searching for authentic details to include about work and leisure pursuits? Join us for a discussion on using the free resources in Google Books for these types of research projects and more. Presenter: Devra Dragos, Technology & Access Services Director, Nebraska Library Commission. Upcoming NCompass Live events:
  • June 15 – Passport to Vermont Libraries with Jessamyn West
  • June 29 – Innovating Access to Information with Libraries Without Borders
