The Story Behind Google Book Search
Google’s ultimate goal with Google Book Search is to let you search the full text of any book ever published. Then you will have the option of reading that book online (for selected books), purchasing the book (from selected booksellers), or finding out where you can borrow a copy (from participating libraries). To achieve this goal, Google must have the full text of all these books in its database—which is a formidable challenge.
Google is now in the process of adding the contents of as many books as possible to its Google Books database. This book content is coming primarily from two sources—publishers and libraries.
