quick followup on the thread.. github: I looked at the cooperhewitt collection but don't see a way to download the content...I could copy and paste their content but that may not be the best approach for my files...documentation is thin, seems i would have to provide email addresses for those seeking access...but clearly that is not the case with how the cooperhewitt archive is configured..
My primary concern has been to make it as simple a process as possible for libraries which have limited technical expertise. One of the reasons I made a career change was my inability as a library director to integrate very useful online resources in the library's content discovery system. Each of the libraries I led lacked expertise and/or the technical support necessary to do so. So, quit my job, re-tooled and now working independently. Internet Archive: I did a search that included a query term MARC and found the Open Library and this may be the best option but I will have to include a field in each record I think...something I could easilydo...the marc records do download nicely...I'll send a message for guidance on this Eric's suggestion regarding MIME type is interesting as well but seems I would have to have a recognizable type like zip...would prefer to have the files no larger than 4000 or so records to facilitate processing...there are also some content libraries may not want...eg, erotic literature, juvenile content.. found the file for comparison with GP generated MARC: =LDR 00945nam a22002535 4500 =001 PG27384 =006 m||||||||d|||||||| =007 cr||n\|||muaua =008 \\\\\\s2008\\\\utu|||||o|||||||||||eng\d =042 \\$adc =090 \\$aPQ =092 \0$aeBooks =100 1\$aDumas, Alexandre,$d1802-1870. =240 14$aUne fille du régent.$lEnglish =245 14$aThe Regent's Daughter$h[electronic resource] /$cAlexandre Dumas. =260 \\$aSalt Lake City :$bProject Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation,$c2008. =300 \\$a1 online resource :$bmultiple file formats. =500 \\$aRecords generated from Project Gutenberg RDF data. =540 \\$aApplicable license:$uhttp://www.gutenberg.org/license =600 10$aOrléans, Philippe,$cduc d',$d1674-1723$vFiction. =651 \0$aFrance$xHistory$yRegency, 1715-1723$vFiction. =655 \0$aElectronic books. =710 2\$aProject Gutenberg. =856 40$uhttp://www.gutenberg.org/etext/27384$zClick to access.
