Hello! My name is Rebecca Malamud and I am a UI Designer and a member of the Open Library team. SJ Klein suggested that I post a message to this list.
I have been working on a UI prototype for the XO laptop, and am searching for more quality material to add to it - I am using Open Library to search for materials http://openlibrary.org/search?q=subjects%3A(children) (clicking the checkbox for "scanned books only" will show the ones that are in the public domain) Alternatively, this tag cloud provides a different overview of the same collection at the Archive: http://www.archive.org/browse.php?field=/metadata/subject&collection=iacl&view=cloud I am primarily looking for books that are useful in a classroom environment (K-12) - so any suggestions are most welcome. Since we are dealing with public domain books, it makes sense to try to maximize the topics that are still relevant today - literature, poetry, history, nature, etc. Thanks for any help you can provide, and if you have any other ideas on relevant collections or resources, please let me know! Best regards, Rebecca Malamud PS.
