Hi all,
I blogged a while ago about the possibility of an upcoming open database of
book images (
http://pegasuslibrarian.blogspot.com/2006/12/open-book-cover-images.html),
and recently I've been getting emails and IMs from people wondering if
there've been any developments. Has the steam gone out of those sails? If
so, I guess life will go on... but not nearly as swimmingly as it would have
with such a database in place. (By the way, this post has consistently been
among the most clicked-on posts on my low-circulation blog, and the google
searches that got people to that post reveal that there's been a lot of
interest in such a resource).
I must say, I feel kind of bad asking because I have absolutely no technical
expertise to offer the project. All I have is a need for such a resource.
Best,
Iris
