quick followup on the thread..
github: I looked at the cooperhewitt collection but don't see a way to
download the content...I could copy and paste their content but that may
not be the best approach for my files...documentation is thin, seems i
would have to provide email addresses for those seeking access...but
clearly that is not the case with how the cooperhewitt archive is
configured..
My primary concern has been to make it as simple a process as possible for
libraries which have limited technical expertise. One of the reasons I
made a career change was my inability as a library director to integrate
very useful online resources in the library's content discovery system.
Each of the libraries I led lacked expertise and/or the technical support
necessary to do so. So, quit my job, re-tooled and now working
independently.
Internet Archive: I did a search that included a query term MARC and found
the Open Library and this may be the best option but I will have to include
a field in each record I think...something I could easilydo...the marc
records do download nicely...I'll send a message for guidance on this
Eric's suggestion regarding MIME type is interesting as well but seems I
would have to have a recognizable type like zip...would prefer to have the
files no larger than 4000 or so records to facilitate processing...there
are also some content libraries may not want...eg, erotic literature,
juvenile content..
