Hello all. Sorry if this is old news. Considering the recent discussions on the list about Google, I thought you might find this interesting. From what I can tell by the urls, they are using the LCCN for at least some titles. I also couldn't help but notice that PG already has some of these if not all.
In some cases, Google is recording the LCCN, other cases, the OCLC number, and in other cases some random string that doesn't seem to represent anything at the library. If Google has the OCLC number associated with the work, they provide a link to OpenWorldCat, so you can find it in a local library (at least in the US). BTW, I've found 132,000 full view books at Google, but they're strongly discouraging me from finding more.
