viaLibri ~ Rare Books - Resources for Bibliophiles, Librarians and Collectors
After an extended period of development and testing we are now ready to launch the beta version of Libribot™, an automated searching service that will continuously scour the internet to find new items that match your permanent wants. Just record your wants in the Wants Manager and Libribot will take over from there. Freshly uploaded listings on 10 major search engines (more to come) and the independent websites of dozens of individual booksellers are regularly scanned for their most recent additions. When new matches are discovered they are added to your personal catalogue of found items where they can be easily browsed at any time. If you are a registered user with wants already saved in the viaLibri Wants Manager Libribot may already be at work for you. Just click the tab marked "Libribot" at the top of the screen and you will find a catalogue of your latest matches.

Author Uses Blog Comments to Peer Review Book
Anyone who has scanned the comments at Perez Hilton would understandably be puzzled by the idea of relying on blog readers to peer review a book. The idea seems especially ludicrous if the book is being published by the MIT Press. But as we're well aware here at ReadWriteWeb, some blogs do have very intelligent readers (*wink, wink, nudge, nudge*). Author Noah Wardrip-Fruin, an assistant professor of communication at the University of California at San Diego, thinks so too, which is why he is calling on his blog's readers to peer review his new book. The book in question is the forthcoming Expressive Processing: Digital Fictions, Computer Games, and Software Studies , which examines the study of video games, and the blog in question is Grand Text Auto , an academic blog founded in 2003 that deals with "digital narrative, poetry, games and art." "Blogging has already changed how I work as a scholar and creator of digital media.

Alan Bradley It is the summer of 1950-and at the once-grand mansion of Buckshaw, young Flavia de Luce, an aspiring chemist with a passion for poison, is intrigued by a series of inexplicable events: A dead bird is found on the doorstep, a postage stamp bizarrely pinned to its beak. Then, hours later, Flavia finds a man lying in the cucumber patch and watches him as he takes his dying breath. For Flavia, who is both appalled and delighted, life begins in earnest when murder comes to Buckshaw. "I wish I could say I was afraid, but I wasn't.

Google avasi myös suomenkielisen kirjahaun - HS.fi - Kulttuuri
Palvelun idea on, että Google tallentaa palvelimilleen kirjoja, ja niiden tekstiin voi sitten tehdä hakuja. Tulokset tulevat joko kokonaisina teksteinä tai vain teosotteina – riippuen tekijänoikeuksista. Haun kirjojen sisälle mahdollistaa yhtiön käyttämä tekstintunnistusohjelmisto. Suomenkielisistä teoksista Googlesta löytyy esimerkiksi Kalevalan toinen painos vuodelta 1849. Täällä pohjantähden alla -teoksesta löytyy vain otteita. Suomenkielisten teosten arkistointi on kuitenkin vasta aluillaan.
