Just when you think you know Google, you discover that there is more!
Google Translate

I had a go at translating the NLA website into French. It was very simple to do so. This feature of Google would be very useful for non-english speaking/reading library clients! They would be able to access any online information including the library catalogue in their own language!
Google Books
http://books.google.com
Books online for free! Where a book is out of copyright or permission has been given, you are able to read these books for free, anywhere, anytime!

I searched Google Books and found Alice in Wonderland in full view mode. I was able to read each page clearly as well as the illustrations.
i-Google
Personalisation of your Google home page could not be easier! This would be useful for libraries as added features like calendars advertising library events could be added.
Google Calendar
Explore
This free online calendar would be useful for library staff to keep track of important dates and be able to share them with colleagues.
Google Maps
I created a Google Map and have embedded it previously onto this blog. It shows the location of my two local libraries.
