Open Library project aims to put all books online
- Added:
- Jul 03, 2009
A new information sharing project, ‘The Open Library’ has launched with the aim of creating a single web page for every book that has ever been written.
The US-based scheme to create a huge searchable catalogue of information about every book in the world already has more than 23 million books in its system and draws information from 19 major libraries.
It also currently links to the text of more than 1 million out-of-copyright titles, and the list is growing.
The Open Library is an arm of the Internet Archive, which aims to keep a historical record of the web for posterity, and currently has just a handful of staff working on its development.
The resource works like a Wikipedia for printed material, allowing anyone to add their own notes to different books or editions.
