Ok, is one way to do it make the whole thing a DP project then? List all books, have all the volunteers fill in subjects for the ones they know into some standard file that becomes machine readable, then has a checking process like other stuff, and books are removed from the list once done? Quoting David Starner <prosfilaes@gmail.com>:
First, Distributed Proofreaders usually records the LCCN upon creation of the project. If we import from them, that's probably a good 5,000 there. Secondly, whenever I hand import a book, I copy the category and stuff from the LOC by hand; it would be much easier if I could do it just by entering the LCCN. Every little bit helps, and I might be motivated to do a lot more if I could load it just by entering the LCCN.
Thirdly, if we offered the ability to load information from the LoC at copy.pglaf.org like is done at DP, most new clearances would have the LCCN because it would be the most convenient way of clearing the book. _______________________________________________
