UPDATE: Launch Delay
Do to a technical issue on the Express Stations, the release of the Google Books Preview button has been delayed.
The WebOPAC Committee and the WMC will activate the Google Books Preview Button in the WebOPAC on May 11th. The initial discussion about the Google Books Preview Button started following a blog post here on Soundbytes. Google's Preview Button provides our patrons access to addition information available in Google Books. You can find out more about Google Books on the Google Books web site.
The Google Books Preview button is now available on the WebOPAC staging port (http://webpac.library.unlv.edu:2082/).
