We are also using GBS links in our Drupal-based catalog (now in testing).

> Oops! Sorry, keyboard shortcut sent that one a bit early.

> Starting over:

> Thanks very much to everyone who responded with examples of their
> implementations of the GBS content; I've summarized those examples
> below. Since I'm interested more in look and feel than the technical
> details of the implementations, I'm including mainly links with a little
> description, snipping the longer technical explanations.
>
> Examples of OPACs that have added buttons or links for the Google
> content:
>
> Google Books and Amazon:
> http://library.willamette.edu/search~S1/c?SEARCH=DF+229+.T5+J6#
>
> Individually adapted link to Google Book Search on a full title view
> page: http://opac.fh-burgenland.at/
>
> Google Books and Google Book covers: http://cf.catalog.fcla.edu/cf.jsp/
> (good sample search: bear)
>
> Worldcat.org links to Google Books and to Amazon:
> http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/777896&referer=brief_results; Worldcat
> Local inherits this functionality from the Worldcat.org platform with a
> slightly different presentation (UW does not have Amazon links turned on
> here): see
> http://uwashington.worldcat.org/oclc/777896&referer=brief_results
>
> The next major release of Evergreen will have integrated GBS browse
> available by default. You can see it in action here:
> http://dev.gapines.org/opac/en-US/skin/default/xml/rresult.xml?rt=keywor
> d&tp=keyword&t=shakespeare&f=at The cover art there is provided by
> Syndetics, but as you can see, there are "Browse in Google Book Search"
> links available for those titles that Google has available.
>
> Simple textual links at this point on our III catalog. A few examples of
> our integration: http://kentlink.kent.edu/search/Xnativism ;
> http://kentlink.kent.edu/search/Xwhitman ;
> http://kentlink.kent.edu/search/Xsleepy+hollow. Scroll down until you
> see links: "Information at Google Books" (some content), "Preview at
> Google Books" (more content, some full text), "Read at Google Books"
> (full text). If you're patient enough on the Sleepy Hollow example, and
> scroll down enough, you'll see all three link examples.
>
> We've incorporated Google Books content in addition to our content from
> Syndetics: http://tripod.brynmawr.edu/record=b2467484 or
> http://tripod.brynmawr.edu/record=b2720408 The display of our item
> records is a little off now as we have both Sydetics reviews and
> LibraryThing for Libraries on trial.
>
> At Boston College, we have implemented a link to Google book information
> from the full bib record view. Our catalog is at
> http://www.bc.edu/quest. We also use Syndetics, so we do not display the
> cover image from Google. We recently added the link and we need to tweak
> the display, but it's at the bottom of the bib information for the
> moment.
>
> We have implemented in the OPAC links to Google Books, Amazon, WorldCat,
> and table of contents (this in particular derived from PALNI
> bibliographic records where the contents exist). The results page shows
> these links when relevant to the material. We are looking at inclusion
> on full-display screens as well. Here is an example URL:
> http://hickory.palni.edu:4505/F/?func=file&file_name=find-b&local_base=p
> lnhup
>
> http://phebe.bowdoin.edu/record=b1000147~S1
>
> We have just implemented links to Google Book Search in the Swedish
> National Union Catalog, LIBRIS. ... Google covers are only displayed
> when no others are available. Regarding the different types of preview,
> we choose to distinguish between the "partial" and "full" previews on
> the one hand, and the "noview", on the other. The two former are
> presented as links in the title presentation, analogue to how we present
> links to freely accessible resources, whereas for books with "noview",
> the Google-links are only displayed in the right column under "Search
> outside LIBRIS". Some examples: "Full preview" + cover from Google:
> http://libris.kb.se/bib/2174999?language=en ; "Partial preview" + cover
> from Google: http://libris.kb.se/bib/4717070?language=en ; "No preview"
> + cover from Nielsen: http://libris.kb.se/bib/10361389?language=en
>
> I hope this is helpful. Thanks again to everyone for their helpful
> responses!

> Best,
