It is possible to retrieve a MARC record for an ebook from OL using just a URL:
This gets you the original MARC record: http://archive.org/download/{identifier}/{identifier}_marc.xml This gets you a record that has been modified to represent the ebook (it has a 245 $h, 007, etc.) http://archive.org/download/{identifier}/{identifier}_archive_marc.xml The identifier is the IA book identifier. e.g. http://archive.org/download/cu31924075867089/cu31924075867089_archive_marc.xml I haven't played around with this much, but first, I think we need to document this somewhere. I can write up the documentation, but it will need to be linked to help, and perhaps to the developer documentation? The other thing is that it would be great to have a browser plug-in that creates this from any page with an archive ID. Does that sound feasible? If so, I think I'll start a section of the projects page for "proposed projects." kc -- Karen Coyle [email protected] http://kcoyle.net ph: 1-510-540-7596 m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet _______________________________________________ Ol-tech mailing list [email protected] http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-tech To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to [email protected]
