The Internet Archive recently presented this very interesting webinar, demonstrating some fun new features they've developed: https://archive.org/details/open-library-explorer-webinar The webinar is 48 minutes long, but you may find it extremely interesting, as I did. They've created a webpage where you can simply browse the shelves to see what you see, as you would physically in a library.
Looks at books online is sometimes a bit too specific. Unlike wandering around in a library, you pretty much only see the things that you're looking for. This webpage is set up to imitate what it's like to just browse, and to really see everything that's there. If you don't have time for the webinar, or just don't feel like watching it, I encourage you to at least play around with this Open Library Explorer: https://openlibrary.org/explore
And, bonus! You can change your settings at the bottom of the screen so that you're only browsing public domain books. I mean, you know, if you're into that kind of thing.
What if you could wander the library stacks online?

That's true. But I already have a section in it. And I have a large backlog of recording to do for other projects, so I don't know when I'd get to do another.TriciaG wrote: ↑March 5th, 2021, 5:43 am"next"?
