Our library recently transitioned to a new ILS vendor, and the prospect of adding 15,000 records to the catalog was a bit too daunting for us to consider until we went live with our new ILS. We would like to offer access to this material through our regular catalog in the same way that we do with other digital material. Thanks, Jim Will the library be able to access MARC records for the project gutenberg titles the way we do with other ebooks in our digital collection?

Is there an easy way to integrate the Gutenberg collection into catalog search results? Requiring users to visit a separate page seriously reduces the exposure of the collection. Or would that kind of integration require importing catalog records on our end? Awesome! Is there an easy way to integrate the Gutenberg collection into catalog search results?
