Reading in Cyberspace ?!?


Google book search is a creative tool that helps you locate any information on books. This tool affects the Google's relationship with publishers. This makes Google's relationship with publishers more better. If google wants to show published books on their google book search, they have to have the authorization of the publishers of the books displayed on google. This shows that the publishers are okay with google book search to display their book. Google's competitors such as yahoo and microsoft have found that there competitor, google, has new technology and are finding that google is taking over their business. They have tried to match google's newest edition, book search, by adding new features to their website. This new tool can impact the access of information because it will make people's life much more easier, as what technology is suppose to do. Instead of people going to the library and finding information about a book they can use their own internet to get some information. Some librarians might be threatened by this new addition by google but some may not. It will certainly give some librarians less business and less work, which is bad but also good at the same time. I think this new tool by google is an easier way for people to search up information on books and it will help our society for years to come.
