All,
If you have been following the very lively and interesting discussion
on NGC4LIB, in one posting, I mentioned a record I made:
"In Google Books, the American Classical School at Athens has made
lots of books available for free. These are especially useful to my
students and faculty. I do not have time to catalog them all, and in
any case, they seem to still be adding them. I made the following
record:
http://www.galileo.aur.it/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=22971
where the 856 field uses a Google query. So, I cataloged it as a type
of collection. Quick and dirty, I admit, but otherwise, the materials
in Google can't be found. There are other publishers making their
materials available this way, but they have much less clear-cut
subjects, so I have been considering how to deal with these."
There has been a little discussion and Shawne Miksa mentioned she
would show it to her students in cataloging class. Jonathan Rochkind
had some ideas at:

and I responded at

(I hope the links work!)
What do you think of it? Do these things work at all?
