This is a handy one stop site to get various bits of information about books. I searched for "We of the Never Never" and was impressed with what came up. There was about 70 pages of the 220 page book free to read, and I was able to do a term search for "horses" within those pages.
There are various ways that I could use the information in my library. It aggregates various ports of call such as Libraries Australia's catalogue entry for verification of bibliographic details, book shops for comparative prices, web and scholarly sources where the book has been referenced, other books which have included quotes from the text, reviews from readers (may help with book selection) and lists of libraries that have the book available. It seems that in the future libraries may have to pay a subscription to access some of the full text and Google is putting plenty of positive spin on this.
