Chinese Book Search

Search Engine Watch reports on a People's Daily article about Google's plans to launch a book search service in China. Meanwhile, Baidu has announced a plan to integrate book catalog records into its search engine reports Shanghai Daily. "Baidu.com, has signed an agreement with the mainland's top libraries to include their catalogues on its search site, making it the largest Chinese books database in the world." Perhaps, but it is not a full text database if it only includes library catalog records.
