>Book Search now features links to WorldCat's free Web service. The Google 
>service, which lets you search the full text of books provided by 
>participating libraries and publishers, includes "Find this book in a 
>library" links that lead to the WorldCat Web record for an item. There you 
>can enter a geographic identifier such as postal code and receive a list 
>of nearby libraries that hold the item.
>
>The "Find this book in a library" link to WorldCat typically appears in 
>the right-hand column of any Google Book Search "view," beneath 
>descriptive information for a book (title, authors) and "Buy this book" 
>purchase options.
>
>The WorldCat link appears within all four available Google Book views:
>    * the Full View offering access to the full content of a digitized title;
>    * the Limited Preview that lets you read only several pages of the book;
>    * the Snippet View that contextually presents passages of the book 
> which contain your search terms; and
>    * the basic record view which does not feature a content preview.

>Results produced by this limited search contain "Find libraries" links
