Google Print: links to OpenWorldCat?
I was prompted to look at the new Google Print FAQ by this post off LISNews:
Google Print: The Google OPAC?
[c/o LISNews viewed 7 oct '04, published 6 oct '04]
While I fully acknowledge the issues with the OpenWorldCat system as laid out by Gary Price, I'm still bummed to see that the beta of the Google Print service only lists links to online booksellers that may carry an item, and not the OpenWorldCat links as well. I just sent an email off to them asking about it, so I'll let you know what I hear. Hopefully they'll add the link to OpenWorldCat, as well. I know at least that my non-librarian friends do follow the OpenWorldCat links, so there are patrons out there looking at the links, even if they don't fully understand them.
