[Web4lib] "open" library/book web services

[Fred Edwards]

Has anyone collected or know of a list of "open" (ie. free or free for
educational institutions) web services for library / book related
information?

We're looking at providing information to our users beyond what is
found in our opac.

in particular, "Tables of Content" and Author biographies

We're currently playing with Amazon, LoC and Google books but the hit
rate is mediocre at best and frequently truncated.

Thanks in advance
