I still have on my plate to do an analysis of the recently released records from Germany. However, I think it makes sense at this point to prioritize any updates to OL.
As far as I know, there have been no updates from Amazon or Library of Congress for a very long time. That means that the database is out of date for the most current items. Since some libraries are using OL for their covers, it seems that bringing the database and coverstore up to date should be a high priority. I'm hoping that the Amazon code is still viable, but needs to be revived. There is no longer a subscription to the Library of Congress file, but I put a note in the community projects page [1] about how it may be possible to download the LC records "rest-fully". It may be hard to catch up (another reason to do this sooner rather than later), but it should be possible to automate an ongoing process of retrieving new items from the database. kc [1] http://openlibrary.org/community/projects bottom -- Karen Coyle kco...@kcoyle.net http://kcoyle.net ph: 1-510-540-7596 m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet _______________________________________________ Ol-discuss mailing list - Ol-discuss@archive.org http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-discuss Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/ol-discuss@archive.org/ To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to ol-discuss-unsubscr...@archive.org
