Quoting

"Under terms of the agreement, OCLC member libraries participating in the
Google Book Search program, which makes the full text of more than one
million books searchable, may share their WorldCat-derived MARC records
with Google to better facilitate discovery of library collections through
Google.

Google will link from Google Book Search to WorldCat.org, which will drive
traffic to library OPACs and other library services. Google will share
data and links to digitized books with OCLC, which will make it possible
for OCLC to represent the digitized collections of OCLC member libraries
in WorldCat. "
