I regularly use Google Images, Google Earth and YouTube. Google Images is invaluable for searching out pictues of people, places and things that I cannot always find in our books.
I have actually taken a tour down the streets of my hometown on Google Earth.
YouTube never disappoints when a song comes to mind.
As for the new products, the Public Data Explorer would be useful for doing research.
Search the Google books: It has the classics I was looking for with the added value of free downloads. I was amazed at the size of their collection with 107,600 in the social science category and 992,600 law books. Google books could be an alternative when we do not have the books on the shelf and our online copies are all in use.
I searched for a title that was interlibrary loan requested this morning and they have that book. The title of the book: Winemaker's Daughter.
