Pretty cool

Quote:
The Verge reports that Google has added local library ebook listings to its standard search interface when searching on books.
Quote:
When I click the link, it takes me to the book’s page on my local library’s Overdrive subdomain, with the option to borrow (or place a hold if all the library’s copies are already checked out).

My library is listed, but only Overdrive books show up. We also have Bibliotheca's cloudLibrary (formerly 3M's Cloud Library), and sometimes the Overdrive ebook will have several on the waiting list (Kindle users, perhaps?), but the cloudLibrary ebook will be available.

It shows in some but not others. I know my local library has them as I just read them recently and I double checked. So far I seen it on 1 out of 4. So maybe its still being worked on?

Can't say that I use google often to search for books. Authors maybe. Books I usually just type in goodreads searchbar so I can see reviews and such.
