Demian, all, 

We've cobbled together a decent set of icons for SearchWorks, but are still looking for a complete set of icons with consistent perspective, shading, coloring, etc. It seems to me that it would be a boon to the community if there were a high quality set of such icons available under a CC license. 

We'd be happy to contribute to the creation of such a set, but don't have the graphics talents to do so in house. If anyone is interested in either collaborating on this, or in doing the work for a reasonable rate, please contact me on or off list, as appropriate.

- Tom
