Library Journal - Google Book Search: Not So Easy to Find the Library Link

Library Journal - Google Book Search: Not So Easy to Find the Library Link: "Librarians and library users alike are starting to use Google Book Search (formerly Google Print) the way they use Google?and are now mining information from books. But does Google Book Search let its users easily find a library version of a book? Not unless the book is out of copyright, and Google doesn't yet explain that. The third question in the Google Book Search FAQ reads as follows: "What is the 'Find it in a Library' link?" The answer: "When you click on 'Find it in a Library' we send you to the OCLC Worldcat where you can enter your zip code and find a local library that has the book." The reality is more complicated and less impressive.
