New Way for Finding References 20 July 2008

For someone who lives in Indonesia, it’s quite difficult to find adequate references for research. Most of the times, my students and I find it very difficult to get latest journal articles. Searching in google usually brings many hits of results. The problem is, not all of them can be downloaded freely, unless your university subscribed to the journals or you pay. Getting them from university libraries is also possible, but due to the price of the books, the library simply didn’t buy them.
Today, I came across one of Google’s search engine: Google Book Search. What so wonderful about this facility is not only the search facility, but also the ability of it to display some pages of the book! Some books are available for previewing some pages only, and some even provide full book preview. It is just awesome for me! With Microsoft Office OneNote, I can always do a screen clipping of the pages for later reading and it will be a tremendous help for my research.
Round applause for Google, please!

The government has provided a search engine to get hold of those ’supposed to be paid’ articles but I don’t remember the website..:(
Can you explain how to use Microsoft Office OneNote with google books?
Thanks for the info!
