Google has launched a news archive tool that enables users to view newspaper articles from the last 200 years. As with Google News, each article has links to other related articles and both subscription and free sources are shown. A date display along the left hand side of the screen allows you to refine a search along key dates. For instance if you search for Lenin, you can view pre-1930 articles only, allowing access to more contemporary material such as interviews and previous attitudes to the Soviet Union. Or if you type in President Kennedy, Google News will highlight 1963 and allow you to gauge reaction and shock in the aftermath of the US leader's assassination. The timeline along the side of the articles is particularly useful and makes for quick research into a specific era of someone's life. In launching this tool, Google is once again expanding into the world of information and controlling more of it by the day. Recently the beta for Google books search was launched enabling users to view full texts of non-copyright works. ihotdesk are a Microsoft gold certified partner and provide a range of outsourcing services for IT support in London ihotdesk the home of IT support London © Adfero Ltd |
