Regarding the question of whether and how we should provide links to page scans, here's one idea which may have potential: Etext number 10072, "English Housewifery Exemplified", by Elizabeth Moxon, was produced from scans from Biblioteca de la Universitat de Barcelona (it says so at the top of the text). It happens that Biblioteca de la Universitat de Barcelona makes their scans available on the net, for free (apparently -- my Spanish is non-existent; might even be Catalan?) So I've added a note for this text ni the catalog, which reads: " Produced from page images available from Biblioteca de la Universitat de Barcelona, at http://www.bib.ub.es/grewe/showbook.pl?gw58 " thus providing a link to the actual page scans for anyone interested. Is this a model to be followed? Of course, this raises the question of who is to add this information to the catalogue -- the link was not provided in the etext, I had to go look for it. Also, the link is not clickable. Ideally, you'd want the link to be active, but there's no place for this in the present catalog design.
