FYI: GoogleBooks linking

This is probably well known to most of you, but for what it's worth, I just learned the procedure for linking GoogleBooks to HOLLIS from Laura Morse:

"There are two ways links appear in HOLLIS/HOLLIS Classic. One is if the book was scanned from Harvard (Find it at Google link in the holdings). The others are the auto-generated links based on whether standard numbers in our records match metadata in Google Book Search."

This means that if the book was scanned from another library's collection and the MARC records are a little different, there will be no GoogleBooks link.
