Incidentally, I was asked a few months ago about incorporating Open Library and/or Internet Archive material into a service I (barely) maintain called Ockham Alert. I told them I would be happy to do so, but since Ockham Alert relies on OAI date ranges, and their date ranges did not work, I was unable to oblige them. I suppose the date issue with their OAI implementation is a known issue. -- Eric Lease Morgan University Libraries of Notre Dame (574) 631-8604
