Now Search Magazines On Google Book Search
Google has begun digitizing millions of pages from New York Magazine, Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, Ebony and other publications to now add magazines to its online archive of books in a partnership with publishers.
Scanned in full color, the magazines are currently available through Google Book Search. Thus, a search on books.google.com will now not only bring up links to relevant books but also to magazine articles related to the query (Try hank aaron pursuing babe ruth’s record). Users can also use advanced search on Google Book Search to search through magazines only.
The incentive for publishers: Google will link to the Web site of a participating magazine publisher and share some of the revenue that is expected to be generated from ads shown alongside the old articles.
As the Google Blog states:
Over time, as we scan more articles, you’ll see more and more magazines appear in Google Book Search results. Eventually, we’ll also begin blending magazine results into our main Google.com search results, so you may begin finding magazines you didn’t even know you were looking for. For now you can restrict your search to magazines we’ve scanned by trying an advanced search.
