「Goodreads 已經擁有超過一百萬名使用者看書。許多會員抱怨他們實際上花太多時間瀏覽網站，而不是閱讀。不過，有了 Google 圖書搜尋功能，我們就可以解決這個問題，他們可以直接在網站上瀏覽書籍！」
指定客戶背景
GoodReads 是愛書人免費網站想像一下，這是一個大型圖書館，你可以漫步以及查看所有每個人的書架、書評和評分。也可以發布自己閱讀過的內容、目前正在閱讀，以及規劃日後閱讀的目錄。不僅如此，您還可以加入討論群組、建立讀書會、與作者聯絡，甚至張貼自己的文章。
Goodreads 的使命是改善全世界的閱讀與學習過程。
與「Google 圖書搜尋」整合
透過與出版商的合作關係和圖書館掃描專案，Google 收藏了各式各樣的書籍：Goodreads 希望將網站上書籍的相關討論帶入實際書籍本身。
Goodreads 擅長透過朋友或其他擁有類似品味的讀者推薦書籍，幫助使用者找到想閱讀的書籍。不過，與實體書店不同，會員不能挑選想閱讀、翻閱的書籍。使用 Google 圖書搜尋 API 嵌入書籍預覽，將有助於改變這一點，讓會員能夠直接在網站線上瀏覽書籍。對於想要閱讀書籍的會員，這會是非常寶貴的服務。
使用「Google 圖書搜尋」嵌入式檢視器 API 進行整合非常簡單。我們只是要新增一些快速 JavaScript。Google 提供絕佳範例，很方便，幾小時後就能開始著手處理！
而這只是第一步：Goodreads 創辦人 Otis Chandler 會繼續整合 Google Book API 的更多功能：「現在書籍內容推出後，我們可以為書籍內容增添大量有趣的社交功能。」

Many of these members complain that they actually spend too much time on the site instead of reading. But now with Google book search we can help fix their problem - they will be able to browse the books right on the site!\"\n\nWho They Are\n------------\n\n\nGoodReads is a free website for book lovers. Imagine it as a large library that you can wander through and see everyone's bookshelves, their reviews, and their ratings. You can also post your own reviews and catalog what you have read, are currently reading, and plan to read in the future. And it doesn't stop there --- you can join a discussion group, start a book club, contact an author, and even post your own writing.\n\nGoodreads' mission is to improve the process of reading and learning throughout the world.\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\nIntegration with Google Book Search\n-----------------------------------\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\nThrough its partnerships with publishers and the library scanning project, Google has amassed a collection of all kinds of books: Goodreads wants to bring the conversations happening around the books on its site into the actual book itself.\n\nGoodreads excels at helping people find what books they want to read, through recommendations from friends or other readers with similar tastes. However, unlike in a real bookstore, members can't pick a book up they think they want to read and flip through it. Embedding the preview of a book using the Google Book Search Apis is going to help change that, enabling members to browse through the books online right on the site. This will be a very valuable service to members who are curious about a book and are considering reading it.\n\nIntegration using the Google Book Search embeddable viewer API was very easy. We just had to add some quick javascript - a snap due to great examples from Google - and a few hours later it was ready to roll!\n\nAnd this is only the beginning: Otis Chandler, founder of Goodreads, will continue to integrate more functionality from Google Book Search APIs: \"There are endless numbers of fun social features we can build around the book content now that it is available.\"\n\nWhat They Did\n-------------\n\n[](/static/books/casestudies/images/goodreads_screen_1.jpg)"]]
