We've been twitting new resources for a while now at @ubcnewbooks and I added annotations when the topic came up last time. Until just now the annotation was: { subject: "LC subject", isbn: "ISBN13", call_number: "(local) call number", author: "Author", title: "Title", alternate_title:"(from MARC 880 if available)", // And since just now I've added these to closer align with the recommendations: type: "book|ebook|music|map|video|...", year: "20xx", url: "http://url.of.ebook/if_available" } It's hardly MARC, but it's something. One thing I haven't decided is whether the 'url' should point to the item's catalog record or to the ebook url, since the catalog url is in the actual tweet.
