Hi Matt,
The Colorado Library Consortium (CLiC) has a free download of MARC records for the top 500 most popular ebooks from Project Gutenberg:

The records have been cleaned up/enhanced by catalogers, including the addition of an 856$z for all the ebook records:

Hope this helps!
Your friendly fan of Colorado consortia,

Thanks for all the responses. Perhaps I woke up thos morning on the wrong side of MARC.
What I'm really after is a way to display links to project Gutenberg titles in III Encore and not having MARC records is one technical hurdle, as is not having consistent display of URLs from field 856.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Matt
