Anand, raj, Thanks for the answer to my question as to whether or not every IA book is in the Open Library.
We have an IA scanning center in the library and we're currently developing a UI for the Seminary's books that have been digitized by IA. We're extracting OCR text (djvu.ml) and MARCXML metadata and using our digital library platform, MarkLogic, to search the full-text and provide browsing and navigation designed specifically for readers of theological texts. We're on the first sprint of the project. But I'll share the link when we go live.

Some IA scans with marc records, such as serials and journals, don't make it to OL yet... -raj On Feb 1, 2011, at 5:02 PM, Anand Chitipothu wrote: > >> I'm new to this list.
