Good questions, Tom. It looks like the IA page only uses the original MARC record. I imagine that the same record was imported to OL if it hadn't been before and that OL interprets MARC on input (discarding full names too, I guess).
>From what I read on the OL mailinglists, I can only answer the last one about the works not showing up with more certainty: the Solr indexes need to be updated. They provide the lists of works for authors, subjects and perhaps also the editions for works. There has been a chronical delay since the summer, I believe. I/VacuumBot had not yet discovered bulk edits and that appeared to have slowed the indexing process down, and it never seemed to have recovered. I added a work in December that hasn't showed up yet. I have been meaning to ask for a status update on the Solr indexes, but now seems a good time: any updates on Solr? :) Ben On 1 February 2013 18:21, Tom Morris <tfmor...@gmail.com> wrote: > Books which are on Internet Archive often have a link to their Open > Library entry.
