[Web4lib] Microsoft releasing book search in beta

[Jim Campbell]

http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=&scope=books

or just

books.live.com

will get you there. My couple of searches turned up only open access
material from Toronto and Berkeley. The FAQ says it's currently
English-language only and that there are downloadable PDFs, though I didn't
see any. Also didn't see any sort of advanced search.  Nice results display
though.
