Google Book Search is continuously growing up, more and more users being attracted by its innovative functions able to provide useful results. Although the company periodically improves the solution, the most impressive updating campaign started by Google is represented by the numerous partnerships made between Book Search and several libraries. Using these agreements, Google aims to digitize books from every corner of the world, allowing users to search for authors and creations from a single web interface.

Today, the Book Search team announces a new partnership with the Bavarian State Library that will surely increase the amount of information provided by the search technology. The most interesting paragraph of the blog post concerns the numbers recorded by the Book Search and provides some interesting statistics of the Google technology.

"Today we announced our 13th Library Project partner, the Bavarian State Library. With the announcement of a fourth library partner located outside the U.S., we're making headway towards our goal of helping people find books from libraries all over the world," Ben Bunnell, Library Partnerships Manager, sustained in a blog post published today.

As the Google employee sustains, the company currently has over 10,000 publisher partners from around the world, allowing the search giant to provide cover, author and other information about the books. The company now has 13 library partners and an impressive number of books indexed by the service: over one million.
