→Copying Information from Full View Google Books: Removed overview wording as no longer available on new google books layout
FIBIS has a growing Google Books library with books on topics related to its aims. You can search within the books in the library, a useful technique for eliminating results unrelated to historical British India topics. Titles can also be browsed by 'Label' (ie tag or keyword), a way of grouping books on similar topic (for instance, Assam or Indian Mutiny).

==What is Google Books?==
*”Plain Text” to copy the text to a Word or similar document. What you copy will not be fully accurate, so you will need to check your copy against the original wording.
*”Clip” as a first step to copying a part of the actual page. A small blue rectangle should appear around the word clip. Next left click and draw a rectangle around the paragraph you require. Click within the paragraph which should then become blue. Then copy the link which appears under “Image” and paste in a document. You can subsequently use this link to view the paragraph you have saved. You can also use programs such as Powerpoint to make a slide of the paragraph you have clipped.<br>
Note that the Clip function will only appear when the Google Book page is in HTML Mode. What if it’s not there AND the book is Full View? Click on Overview (top left hand corner) and go to the very bottom of the page. If it says Standard Mode, click on this wording and HTML Mode should appear. When you then Read the book, the Clip function should be available.
