Overview

Service that searches Google Book Search to determine viewability. It searches by ISBN, OCLCNUM and/or LCCN.

Uses Google Books API, code.google.com/apis/books/docs/v1/getting_started.html code.google.com/apis/books/docs/v1/using.html

If a full view is available it returns a fulltext service response. If partial view is available, return as “limited experts”. If no view at all, still includes a link in highlighted_links, to pay

lip service to google branding requirements.

Unfortunately there is no way tell which of the noview books provide search, although some do – search is advertised if full or partial view is available.

If a thumbnail_url is returned in the responses, a cover image is displayed.

Can also enhances with an abstract, if available. – off by default, set ‘abstract: true` to turn on.

And fleshes out bibliographic details from an identifier – if all you had was an ISBN, will fill in title, author, etc in referent from GBS response.

Google API Key

Setting an api key in :api_key STRONGLY recommended, or you’ll probably get rate limited (not clear what the limit is with no api key supplied). You may have to ask for higher rate limit for your api key than the default 1000/day, which you can do through the google api console: code.google.com/apis/console

I requested 50k with this message, and was quickly approved with no questions “Services for academic library (Johns Hopkins Libraries) web applications to match Google Books availability to items presented by our catalog, OpenURL link resolver, and other software. ”

Recommend setting your ‘per user limit’ to something crazy high, as well as requesting more quota.
