The Open Library is an ambitious project. When and if completed it could become a great resource for college students, researchers, and anyone who loves books.
The OpenLibrary aims to be the source for information about all the world’s books. Essentially, it acts as a metalibrary. While no one location can house all of the world’s countless books, there can be a place where you can find information about those books, which is precisely what the Open Library hopes to achieve. Search for books either by title or publisher and you’ll find information about the author, along with publishers, and availability for purchase or download. Some books are as full texts that can be searched by page. Each informational page on the Open Library site can be edited, and all edits are stored for comparison. The site is still being developed, so not all features work. Check back for new features.
