Q&A. OPEN LIBRARY MEETS OCLCBOT

摘要

The Internet Archive's Open Library has collected some 20 million book records to date. OCLC researchers have created a program called oclcBot to match Open Library records' ISBN numbers with their corresponding OCLC numbers. So far, it's done so for some four million records. LJ asked Bruce Washbum (pictured), a consulting software engineer at OCLC Research, about the project. (For the entire Q&A, visit the U website at bit.ly/iXzY43.)
