How It Works
My search tool searches the content of all the books on a Bookshelf in your Google Books Library. It sets up a search query consisting of a search term, a shelf number, and the ISBNs of all searchable books on your shelf.
Why This Exists
Google Books offers a way to search your entire Library, but for some reason it does not offer an option to search just a Bookshelf. This tool fills that gap. It was built to facilitate a commentary search component of the Scripture Study App for Calvin Theological Seminary.
In The Classroom
This tool can be used for a variety of innovative activities inside or outside the classroom. Browse my ideas and brainstorm your own.
Developer
This tool was built by Nathan Bierma, who is not a programmer by trade and does not claim this code is beautiful, only that it seems to get the job done.
