E-Books

Project Gutenberg offers free books in many formats. Do a search using the word “children” and there’s a list of categories with many different types of children’s books. The link for this search is http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/search.html/?format=html&default_prefix=subjects&sort_order=downloads&query=children

Google also offers free ebooks in many formats. Go to Google Bookshttp://books.google.com/. Type in a term, title, or author. One example of a phrase I tried is “children’s stories”. You can search for the type of books you’re interested in using subject terms. Click on the Search button. After you get results, click on Free Google ebooks, which is on the left side of the web page. Your results are for children’s books that are free and can be downloaded from Google.

For U.S. books, please note that many free books are older books which are no longer subject to U.S. copyright law.

Syn Item and biblio table

As you’ve seen, items info are stored in two locations: ‘items’ table
and with the biblio records. If you load data the way you’ve done it,
you have to ‘copy’ data from items table to biblio records. There is
script that can do it automatically for you:

    misc/maintenance/sync_items_in_marc_bib.pl

The other option is to create directly items records during biblios
import. You have to put your item info into 952 tag for MARC21 records
(995 for UNIMARC).
