Right, good point. Yeah, just considering monographs. I'm curious how many monograph full text items might be in IA but not OL. And I got some answer, user-uploaded and millionbooks aren't in OL. (Probably Gutenberg are also not in OL?). IA-scanned and Google-scanned are in OL. Hmm, maybe I'm better off just sticking with the hacky but mostly kind of working solution I have now against IA directly. I'd like to use the OL Books api instead, yes, because of the added features it offers, including lookup by identifiers like ISBN, and more clear response as to what versions of full text may be available. (Thanks for that!). But if I do that, I trade off having access to a smaller corpus of full text. Hmm. > -raj > > > On Feb 1, 2011, at 5:02 PM, Anand Chitipothu wrote: > >>> I'm new to this list.
