「Google 圖書搜尋 API 在存取由參與「Google 圖書搜尋庫計畫」的圖書館所代表掃描的內容方面，是重要的進展。合作可讓我們提高這些圖書館及其收藏在網路上的曝光率。」
指定客戶背景
身為全球最大的圖書館合作社，OCLC 的目標是讓人們與圖書館和館藏品連結，而不只是書籍，還有電子與數位收藏。
WorldCat.org 可供搜尋 OCLC 合作社超過 10,000 間圖書館的集合。WorldCat 程式庫致力提供網路資源的存取權限，讓大多數人開始搜尋資訊。
Google 圖書搜尋與 WorldCat
OCLC 的目標是讓更多人探索，以及存取世界各地的圖書館和其館藏。使用者可以使用 WorldCat.org 來尋找、評估、列出及評論網路上的圖書館教材。讓他們能夠輕鬆透過「Google 圖書搜尋」取得他們感興趣的完整 (或可取得) 的著作文字，是 WorldCat.org 上提供發掘的一大強力。這項新功能可讓顧客透過 WorldCat.org 找出媒體庫內容、查看 Google 透過 API 呈現的文字，並在離自己最近的圖書館尋找該項目的副本。
這個 Google Book API 也可以讓 WorldCat.org 的訪客擁有豐富的體驗，因為資訊搜尋者現在可以在 WorldCat.org 中查看完整的數位化文字。只要在 WorldCat.org 中找到越多資訊，就越可能連線至程式庫。現在，WorldCat.org 將被認為是更具評估價值的提供者，能夠將在網路上開始搜尋的使用者帶回圖書館。
與「Google 圖書搜尋」整合
OCLC 開始使用「圖書搜尋動態連結」功能進行整合，該功能可讓使用者在「圖書搜尋」預覽內容可用時，瀏覽到「圖書搜尋」的預覽內容。設定完成之後，OCLC 透過用戶端程式碼，使用 Embedded Viewer API 在 WorldCat.org 上實作預覽頁面。此預覽頁面維護 WorldCat 導覽、書籍資訊和網站樣式。
從技術層面來看，內嵌書籍檢視器的整合速度相當快，且我們只需數小時就能設定新頁面。這包括將自訂的 CSS 放入標頭、傳遞動態 ISBN/OCLC 號碼，以及將語言設定新增至 API 的 JavaScript 呼叫中。

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)"]]
