GOOGLE BOOKS
Google Books is service which mainly indexes the information we get from thousands of printed books, in order to offer the user the chance to find any piece of information they need from them. In order to do that, Google has developed their own technology in order to scan every book to, afterwards, clasify the information.
Although Google Books is accessible to anyone, not every book we can find there will be readable for free, as if they still are protected by any copyright law, the user will only be able to read a small percentage of the work they are looking for.
This modern tool provided by Google, will let us download the books in a very comfortable PDF format, which will make our reserach easier than ever before.
CITEULIKE
CiteULike is a free service which can be used in order to save, share and organize articles of any journal in which we are working. This tool really is useful for students or teachers who currently work in research and read tons of articles which many times simply do not know where to keep.
Thanks to this service, anybody will be able to save all those articles in our personal journal, creating by this our own bibliography. Our references are marked thanks to a bookmarking system, which is easily installed in our navigator, and extracts the data we need to the folder we assign it to.
