[LIS-Forum] Open Library

Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 19:50:58 -0700 (PDT) From: Subbiah Arunachalam Friends: I am sure there are many socially committed LIS professionals with high software and programming skills in India and other developing countries who would like to help the new open library launched by folks at the Internet Archives. Please grab this opportunity to provide 'Shram dhan'. Best wishes. Arun [Subbiah Arunachalam] ------------------------

Open Library launches a working demo site The Open Library (from the Open Content Alliance) now has a working demo site. From the site: What if there was a library which held every book? Not every book on sale, or every important book, or even every book in English, but simply every book—a key part of our planet's cultural legacy.
