One of the listservs I still get from my GSLIS days has semi-frequent posts of links to bibliographies. Today's is The Google Book Search Bibliography, Version 2 from Digital Scholarship.
I had forgotten (so quickly!) how much fuss was made about fair use and copyright when the project first started. The majority of the books, magazine and journal articles, and few white papers that he sites are from 2005-6, with only six from 2008.
Ironically the bibliography itself can be seen to highlight the drawbacks of Google Search. Most people, myself included, go first to Google or another search engine to find information about a subject. Unfortunately, with all Google's algorithms, they still cannot return a clear, concise list such as this one. Although if you search for Google Book Search Bibliography, this is the first return.
