Searching the Online catalog  Gil (http://gilfind.gsc.edu)  click > TUTORIAL

Use Keyword Search for a list of items in the GSC Library collection on your topic of interest. Combining terms will help to better focus your search. For example, instead of searching just the keyword "energy" (718 hits), you might try "energy conservation" (71 hits). Many titles will include [electronic resource] or [computer file] as part of the record.  These are electronic books available through databases like NetLibrary or Books 24x7.

The new feature includes Google Book Search,  a service from Google, that searches the full text of books that Google scans, converts to text using optical character recognition, and stores in its digital database.
