members may be interested to learn that within the past 24-48 hours, there have
been some changes implemented in Google Books itself. Results from searches run
in Google Books are now displayed in the enhanced Google search page with the
left hand panel showing new filters available to the user for refinements of
search. One can slice-and-dice according to view (full, partial, etc.),
document type (book, magazine), time frame (19th c, 20th c, current), sort by
relevance or by date, and display results as either a list or as a grid.</span></font></span></p>

told by an angry academic researcher (who happens as well to be a personal friend)
in contacting me this afternoon that there have been changes made as well that
hide volumes of scanned bound periodicals from easy retrieval. Her particular
focus is in 19th century (ergo, public domain content) American literature and
her sample search appears below:</span></font></span></p>
