#7 Google Books

Working in a Library has meant that I have used Google Books previously. Still had a look at the Read about Google Books and did a couple of searches. Looked for a childhood favourite and found it but only as a preview - not the whole book. Fantastic resource really when you think about it - a huge world wide catalogue! Particularly love
  1. the availability of whole texts for those out of copyright, in the Public Domain, Publisher permission, etc. and
  2. the fact that you are given availability through booksellers of those you wish to purchase.
Yes I definitely would, and already do, use this in my work situation. And yes, sometimes from home.
