Second, let's look at the subject. All it says is "fiction." OK, but about what? What category of fiction? While bookshare.org has a catalog not designed for professionals either, most books have a synopsis and are sorted by category.
Everybody is complaining about the missing subject information.
Complaining won't help. Stepping up and volunteering to enter the data would help.
Maybe if the computer people stuck to "computering" and listened to how the library world does it? After all, the library sytems and conventions have been in place for a while. And, Marcello, my dear, don't give me that line about not having been on the list since 3/18. Just because I don't believe in the diarrhea of the mouth like some people we know : ) does not mean I do not care! It would be good if the people who know the technical side would listen to library requirements (whether _they_ think MARC records are needed, or not!) once in a while. Otherwise, PG will be sentenced to being a whoever, whatever kind of project. Alev.
