The Open Library API currently returns bibliographic records with the Open Library fields:
(snippet) "subject_place": "Venice (Italy)", "lc_classifications": "DG674.2 .S3 2005", "latest_revision": 1, "genres": [ "Juvenile literature." ], "title": "This is Venice", "languages": [ { "key": "\/l\/eng" } ], It appears to be possible to link from the Open Library "book" page to the MARC record or records that contributed to the data. Right now the display of MARC records looks like what you see here: http://pharosdb.us.archive.org:9898/show-marc/marc_records_scriblio_net/part29.dat:504453:573 Since clearly some people will want to download records into their own systems, I'm concerned that this display doesn't facilitate that. But I don't know what library systems expect or can handle. So could any of you advise me on this?
