Open Library has a lot of catalog records, over 20 million editions and some 6 million authors. We're always looking for new records too, in addition to those created one-by-one by our patrons. |

We always encourage new sources and are eager to explore new partnership opportunities. Since the project's inception, we have developed a process for working with new data feeds and merging them into the Open Library system. |

We are also analyzing relationships between works (example: all of these editions of Tom Sawyer are all editions the same conceptual work). From this we can add relationships to each object and create new objects (like works). This process is known in the library world as "FRBRization". See [https://frbr.org][7] for more information. <a name="downloads"> </a> |
