Dear LIS Professionals
Google just opened an electronic-book store that offers titles in formats compatible with
Web browsers, Apple and Android mobile devices, and most other e-book readers .
You'll be able to browse, buy and read titles through a standard Web browser
at books.google.com/ebooks or through new software for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch
and for devices that run Google's Android operating system.
Google eBooks are currently only available for sale to users located in the United States.
They're working to expand the countries in which Google eBooks are available and offer this new
product to readers around the world .
In the meantime, you can still browse millions of free and public domain Google eBooks and read them effortlessly across your devices.

Dear i have upload information regarding google ebooks(books.google.com/ebooks). it is accessing whole world not particular country.But LIS profession has managed the status of a full-fledged discipline in India.But , it has low recognition and has not been regarded at same level with other well-known professions. Most of the students do not choose for librarianship as a first choice of study. National bodies such as ILA, IATLIS and IASLIC etc. should give serious thinking to find the timely solutions for the problems prevailing today. There should be a National Accreditation Body to apply rigorous parameters before granting accreditation to a library school. This will help to establish quality control in LIS schools. It should focus on the adoption of relevant and up-to-date curricula, high quality faculty, willing students and good infrastructure in needed in every LIS schools. In this said ways that LIS institute/department shall capable to made Cybrarian.
