Trove will also tell you which libraries in your area have a particular 
book. I found this very useful, when a distance education student:

As well as listing paper and electronic copies in Australian libraries,
Trove will indicate other ways to get a book. So for my book "ICT
sustainability", Trove has links to the free web version and the
Amazon.com and Blackwells catalogue:

Hopefully the NLA is getting a commission on referrals to the online
book stores.
