“Google 图书搜索 API 在访问代表参与 Google 图书搜索图书馆计划的图书馆所扫描的内容方面取得了重大进展。通过合作，我们能够增加这些库及其藏书在网络上的曝光率。”
他们是谁
作为全球最大的图书馆合作社，OCLC 致力于将人们与图书馆及其藏书联系起来，不仅仅是书籍，还包括电子和数字藏书。
通过 WorldCat.org，您可以搜索 10,000 多家参与 OCLC 合作的图书馆的藏书。WorldCat 图书馆致力于提供人们对网络上的资源的访问权限，大多数人都是从网络上开始搜索信息的。
Google 图书搜索和 WorldCat
OCLC 的目标是让世界各地的更多人发现和访问图书馆及其藏书。人们使用 WorldCat.org 在网上查找、评估、列出和审阅图书馆资料。通过 Google 图书搜索为他们提供一种简便的途径，让他们能够通过 Google 图书搜索找到他们感兴趣的作品的全文（或可用），这是对 WorldCat.org 上的查找过程的极大增强。有了这项新功能，读者将能够通过 WorldCat.org 找到图书馆内容、通过 Google 的 API 查看由 Google 呈现的文字，以及在离他们最近的图书馆里找到藏书副本。
此 Google 图书搜索 API 还将丰富 WorldCat.org 的访问者体验，因为信息搜索者现在可以在 WorldCat.org 中查看完整的数字化文本。他们在 WorldCat.org 上找到的信息越多，就越有可能关联到相应的图书馆。现在，WorldCat.org 将被视为更具评估性内容的提供商，这会吸引开始在网络上搜索的用户重返图书馆。
与 Google 图书搜索集成
OCLC 开始使用图书搜索动态链接功能进行集成，该功能可让用户在图书搜索推出时导航到图书搜索预览。在此功能就绪后，OCLC 使用 Embedded Viewer API 通过客户端代码在 WorldCat.org 上实现了预览页面。此预览页面维护 WorldCat 导航、图书信息和网站样式。
从技术角度来看，嵌入式图书查看器的集成工作相当迅速，我们在几个小时内就设置好了新页面。其中包括将自定义的 CSS 放入标头中、传递动态 ISBN/OCLC 编号，以及将语言配置添加到对 API 的 JavaScript 调用中。

Working together enables us to increase the presence of these libraries and their collections on the Web.\"\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\nWho They Are\n------------\n\nAs the world's largest library cooperative, it is OCLC's goal to connect people to libraries and their collections---not just books, but electronic and digital collections as well.\n\nWorldCat.org lets you search the collections of the more than 10,000 libraries which participate in the OCLC cooperative. WorldCat libraries are dedicated to providing access to their resources on the Web, where most people start their search for information.\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\nGoogle Book Search and WorldCat\n-------------------------------\n\nIt is OCLC's goal to increase discovery and access to libraries and their collections all over the world. People use WorldCat.org to locate, evaluate, list and review library materials on the Web. Providing them with an easy way to connect with the full (or available) text of works they're interested in through Google Book Search is a great enhancement for the discovery process on WorldCat.org. With this new feature, patrons will be able to locate library content through WorldCat.org, view the text presented by Google via its APIs, and locate a copy of the item in a library nearest to them.\n\nThis Google Book Search APIs will also enrich the experience of visitors to WorldCat.org because information seekers can now view full digitized text within WorldCat.org. The more information they are able to find within WorldCat.org the greater their likelihood of connecting to libraries. Now WorldCat.org will be seen as the provider of more evaluative content, which will bring users who start their search on the web back to libraries.\n\nIntegration with Google Book Search\n-----------------------------------\n\nOCLC started its integration using the Book Search Dynamic Links feature, which allows users to navigate to a Book Search preview when it is available. Once that was in place, OCLC used the Embedded Viewer API to implement a preview page right on WorldCat.org, using client side code. This preview page maintains the WorldCat navigation, book information, and site style.\n\nFrom a technical point of view, integration of the embedded book viewer went fairly quickly and we set up the new page within a few hours. It involved putting customized CSS into the header, the passing of a dynamic ISBN/OCLC number, and adding language configuration into the JavaScript call to the API.\n\nWhat They Did\n-------------\n\n\n[](/static/books/casestudies/images/worldcat_screen_2.jpg)\n\n[](/static/books/casestudies/images/worldcat_screen_1.jpg)"]]
