43 But Google ≠ Everything There is no free lunch. Google is great but it doesn't own the Web – in particular the research materials and contents that it indexes; The Library already paid for a lot of e-journals, e-books, e- newspapers so that you can access free online – e.g. compare the Factiva and other free online newspapers; and our Britannica Image QuestFactivaBritannica Image Quest And remember, still not everything is in electronic format or online – check out iSearch – our Intelligent One Stop Searching which includes both Library books, videos, music as well as journal articlesiSearch So, if you only rely on Google, you are going to miss a lot.
