Steve Ostrem at Library Journal wrote a nice article on how librarians can use Google Book Search for reference, research and collection development.
Particularly interesting, and new, is the popular passages search, the subject headings, the ability to clip and paste from public-domain works and the personalization options now offered via My Library with a Google account. Theres also the links to Worldcat (which I find myself using more than my own library catalog now.) All in all, without mentioning the copyright issues, Google Book Search does get better and better.
