Google Books searches through the full-text of millions of books, so it can locate texts using very specific terms, while library catalogs generally search in titles a subject headings. So... the Library Catalog is helpful in finding books that are clearly about marine geochemistry, while Google Books can tell you which one specifically address geochemistry, acidification and estuaries.

2) Click the "Change User Information" link in the top menu. Choose the "Remote Delivery" from the drop-down menu in the Location Status field and add your work or personal address (whichever you prefer to be your delivery point). You'll only need to set this up the first time!
