Subject: [PW] Searching for books published in last 5 years


Hi,

A patron is looking for a free, online search website that would allow a person to search for books on a particular topic published within the last 5 years.  Some of the more common sites for book searching (such as amazon.com and Barnes & Noble) either do not have advanced searches, or do not allow the person to specify a publication date.

I'm sure Books in Print would provide the person what she is looking for, but we don't have the print or online version.

Your help is appreciated, even negative responses.

Thanks,

Pam
