These wonderful widgets have been around for sometime, but if you haven’t discovered the fabulous “Browse Inside” widgets from Harper Collins, you need to surf over and browse the selection!

You can also embed the code within a blog post:

Once you click “browse this book”, you can “flip” through the entire book!
Insert these widgets anywhere where students can easily access your web presence to help promote books you want to spotlight!
