Jim Bruce | 1 comments We are about to embark on making online library catalogs available to small customers who need something simple and low (or no) cost. I am not a programmer I offer system support to librarians.

Here is a sample site featuring access to a user catalog:
http://rockpoint.dyndns.org/cgi-bin/l...

Given a search return that gives
Title
Author
ISBN
...etc.

I envision a system providing in frames:
Other titles by author
Reviews
Cover illustrations
Social networking connections...etc.

QUESTION: Is there an example of Goodreads data being used in that way, and a piece of code to show the code that drives it? For example given a record, show "other tiles by the same author"

This has to be an illustration to sell programming on the idea, I am not likely to understand your reply!

Thanks for your patience.

Jim

Michael Economy (michaeleconomy) I'm not sure what you're asking. It's worth pointing out, our public api doesn't allow commercial use without explicit permission from Goodreads.
