To address your question about comparing OCLC's Open Worldcat with the Internet Archive's Open Libraries, I think it depends on how much of the user-generated content kool-aid you have drunk. ((See Wikipedia for a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kool-Aid#.22Drinking_the_Kool-Aid.22" rel="nofollow">defintion of the "Drinking the Kool-aid"</a> idiom.)) To the best of my knowledge, Open Worldcat allows the average user to add notes, a table of contents, and reviews. That is quite different from full editing capability of the entire bibliographic record. Adam,

You’re welcome. To address your question about comparing OCLC’s Open Worldcat with the Internet Archive’s Open Libraries, I think it depends on how much of the user-generated content kool-aid you have drunk. ((See Wikipedia for a defintion of the “Drinking the Kool-aid” idiom.)) To the best of my knowledge, Open Worldcat allows the average user to add notes, a table of contents, and reviews. That is quite different from full editing capability of the entire bibliographic record.

It's an interesting project, but as you observe worldcat.org serves largely the same function, but it's better because it does all the work (like adding records) automatically on behalf of the user. For example,there is already a beautiful record in worldcat for your spec kit: http://worldcat.org/oclc/54036404. And Worldcat Local holds the promise of optimized delivery and integration of commercial article and library digital collection metadata.Open Library is a provocative demo, but what's the point? I would rather see the Internet Archive layer new value on top of or within worldcat.org.- Adam Peter,

Open Library is a provocative demo, but what’s the point? I would rather see the Internet Archive layer new value on top of or within worldcat.org.
