Amazon Catalog Updates

Posted on May 12, 2010 by Peter Murray

Did you know that Amazon offers a facility to make corrections to its catalog? Somewhere in the past few months someone mentioned this to me and I tried it out. (Unfortunately, it has been long enough now that I’ve forgotten who told me; if you are the one, please fess up in this post’s comments section. It was Ron Murray from the Library of Congress. Thanks, Ron!) And it works! Is this a model for crowdsourced corrections to library data?

This is a preview of Amazon Catalog Updates. Read the full post (409 words, 5 images, 1:38 minutes estimated reading time)
