From Akla:
Sheila Ring of the Martin Monsen Library in Naknek reports that Amazon.com has a pilot project for libraries in which it will supply MARC records for books purchased through Amazon. Tony Small is a member of the “library team” at Amazon.com and says those interested in the program should go to http://www.marcive.com/profile/amazon/ to learn more to sign up.
Even if you are not interested in MARC records through Amazon, you may want to look at what other services Amazon offers to libraries on the webpage at www.amazon.com/libraries.
