Random House (Again)

The New York Times recently reported that, "Random House has introduced a search tool on its Web site that will make available a small portion of text from 5,000 of its new and backlist titles." What that means for the children and YA portions of their backlist, I do not know. Worth keeping an eye on, anyway.

And, by the way, how long has the New York Times had this option with their articles where if you double click on a word it immediately defines it for you? Is this a new idea or are other newspapers doing this as well?

Thanks to Critical Mass for the link.
