Buy-it link connects you to library content on Amazon.com

|

compiledimage.jpgNow there's a special buy-it link that connects you to library-provided content on Amazon.com. These books are available on a print-on-demand basis and contain public domain works from Cornell University and the University of Michigan.

The new link is found in the "Buy it" section of a Worldcat.org detailed record, and will further expand access to the "long tail" information found in relatively few libraries around the world, but now made discoverable to anyone through WorldCat.org.

Sample titles include the following:
Massasoit of the Wampanoags with a brief commentary on Indian character; and sketches of other great chiefs, tribes and nations; also a chapter on Samoset, Squanto and Hobamock, three early native friends of the Plymouth colonists, by Alvin Gardner Weeks
Haiti, Her History and Her Detractors, by Jacques Nicolas Léger
The Life of a Simple Man, by Emile Guillaumin
The ministers wooing, by Harriet Beecher Stowe

How does this new link help you, the user?
Now you can purchase copies of these rare and valuable materials in the context of other library material results.

Get more details about the buy-it link over on the official announcement.
