A 24/7 Library

The Open Library is a project dedicated to creating a better relationship between books and the internet. The goal is to create a web page for each book. Click here to read a Guardian UK article about the project. Learn more about it by visiting the Open Library website.

A quick check of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen at Open Library reveals information similar to a catalog record (author, title, publisher, subject headings, etc.) and links to booksellers (Amazon, et. al), libraries, and Google Book Search.
