Open Library Project- 21 year old book-loving programmer at the helm

From an interview with Aaron Swartz published in Inside Higher Ed (8/8/07), http://insidehighered.com/views/2007/08/08/mclemee. This highly ambitious project hopes to collocate all data on all books in one place, sort of like an Amazon meets RLG/OCLC meets ALibris. Open Library is funded primarily by the Internet Archive. In this lively interview, Swartz discusses his inspiration for the project and all the collaborators he hopes to involve. An impressive young man to say the least!!
