Finally, something I'm reasonably familiar with! In fact, my staff and I have to handle the catalog record of every title we get, adding a generic call number, etc. I am mildly surprised that 23 Things didn't seem to cover e-books that are not audio. We have a subscription to childrens picture books and a number of reference sources in addition to the e-audiobooks. But I suppose that is old technology, and not cool enough to be included.
I was somewhat surprised to realize that Gutenberg doesn't have a subject index. ONe has to have a specific title in mind, and the record certainly doesn't tell the much about the book. There were also LOTS of ways to download it -- some I've certainly never heard of!
This is one of those areas where patrons are usually way ahead of us, and are perfectly comfortable finding a way to download what they want. I do find that the product descriptions on our own website are very helpful for grasping the usefulness of each product.
