Description
When you want every edition, translation and printing of a book, a bookstore page only shows what is for sale. Open Library aims to put every edition of a book in one record—wiki-style, editable by anyone, gathering covers, ISBNs, publication data and languages. Run by the Internet Archive as a nonprofit, some titles can even be borrowed online.
Full catalog: aims to give every book ever published its own web page, freely editable and correctable.
Online lending: many digitized books can be borrowed for a limited time like a library.
Rich metadata: covers, authors, ISBNs, publishers and multi-language editions in one place.
Open data: the bibliographic data is open for bulk download and reuse.
