You do! Our catalog was created by the generous donations of <a href="http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/data">libraries who dedicated their data into the public domain.</a> Our data are available for <a href="http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/jsondump">bulk download</a> in original form through the Internet Archive. |

We acknowledge that this process is too clunky at the moment, but it's a start and something we're looking to improve upon. The goal is eventually enable a library of any size, whether personal or institutional, to upload its catalog or a part of its catalog to Open Library. We'd like to work on that this year and next. |

We would ***love*** that. It's not possible yet, though. We're working on ways to make the addition of records to Open Library much, much easier. For us to be able to accept a CSV file from anywhere, we'll need to be sure that it contains the minimum fields we require to: a) check to make sure we wouldn't create a duplicate record; or b) create a new record. Stay tuned! |
