That's pretty cool. I just downloaded those records, tweaked my solrmarc import specification, and added the 466 records to our blacklight solr index. Currently they are only in our dev index, but I plan to get the OK to add them to our production index sometime next week.

Hi Matt,

The Colorado Library Consortium (CLiC) has a free download of MARC records for 
the top 500 most popular ebooks from Project Gutenberg:

The records have been cleaned up/enhanced by catalogers, including the addition 
of an 856$z for all the ebook records:

Hope this helps!

Thanks for all the responses.  Perhaps I woke up thos morning on the wrong side 
of MARC.
What I'm really after is a way to display links to project Gutenberg titles in 
III Encore and not having MARC records is one technical hurdle, as is not 
having consistent display of URLs from field 856.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Matt
