Open Library
New Aaron Swartz / Brewster Kahle project: Open Library. It wants to catalog every book in existence.
SYSTEM ALERT!
The next several weeks of Fimoculous are going to feature some of my favorite bloggers and link-makers as guest editors. Blogging right now is Drew Grant. Quick bio: Sex blogger by day, media reporter by nights and weekends. Turn-ons: media, the media, new york media, guys that work in new york media, comedy. Turn-offs: Sincerity.

this is great! as a librarian, this is actually the first time i've heard about the project (sad). i'll be interested to watch this grow.
supplemental to this is www.worldcat.org which is a free publicly accessible world-wide catalog of over 70 million library items. you can see what libraries nearest you or another area have and if they're checked out or not. you can even add your own comments and reveiws to the catalog record.
thanks for posting about open library!
