At the moment, no. But this is something we think would be very useful for libraries into the future. The utility of downloading our entire catalog (over 20 million records) is not practical for many libraries. |

The best way to download small sets of records is to make a <a href="http://openlibrary.org/lists">List</a> on Open Library, and then export it. You'll see the export options available on the List's main page. |

We plan to explore partnerships or integrations with other open source [Integrated Library Systems][2] (ILS) into 2010, with a view to providing easy access to small sets of free catalog records within in existing tools. It seems that it might be useful for a librarian to collect records around a particular topic using Open Library, and then use their existing ILS to access Open Library source records. That's the plan, anyway. |

Not yet. But, wouldn't that be awesome? There's currently no facility on Open Library to collect an arbitrary set of records around you, but a list like that might be something you could transform into a bibliography, perhaps with the support of a system such as [Zotero][3]. |

Yes. Any <a href="http://openlibrary.org/lists">List</a> you create on Open Library can be exported in either HTML, JSON or BibTex. |
