I have used Google Books to help to find bibligraphic details of books for purchase. This time I searched for books I doubted would be available and was surprised that I could not only find them but also read them online. I added some to My Library. Google has a partner program with libraries to include their catalogue in Google searches. Libraries can also add Google Books to their collections with the same copyright restrictions of electronic books.
Where will it end? Google and Google Books makes me think of the Dr Who episode where the library was a whole planet. Maybe we will see a Planet Google.
