Well! I've had my first experience of running into a Project Gutenberg citation in a major "traditional" library catalog. This was through Amicus, a collection of records from Canadian libraries. The only unfortunate thing is that it is presented via NetLibrary, which limits and controls access to its texts.

I've ran into a number of these citations via NetLibrary from the Carnegie library in Pittsburgh. They don't have the complete Gutenberg catalog. -- Greg Weeks http://durendal.org:8080/greg/

NetLibrary has sold perhaps millions of PG eBooks for ~100 to college libraries. . .libraries, I might add, who wouldn't take them when I offered them free of charge. . . . Including my own local Big 10 University of Illinois. ;-)

NetLibrary gives credit also, so I can't claim to be unhappy with them. If that's what it takes to get our books into brick and mortar libraries ok. -- Greg Weeks http://durendal.org:8080/greg/
