What do people here think of the following idea, both personally and
what how you think other library people would respond:
Embedding links to Google Booksearch Books within the standard OPAC.
1. Only books with the full text would be linked to, not "limited
preview books."
2. Other similar resources could be added too (PG, Open Library, etc.)
It seems to me this would be a service—check out a book before you get
it. But I could imagine it would also touch a nerve.
