From the Disruptive Library Technology Jester, certain libraries are providing Google Books with anonymized circulation data to feed into their relevance ranking algorithm. I would love to know which libraries are providing this data. Anyone?

I don’t know. It was mentioned in the course of the ALCTS presentation, but I don’t think there was a follow-up question as to who was providing it. I assume it is one or more of the Google Book Search Library program…
