https://openlibrary.org/volunteer is the general page but I'm assuming you want the technical stuff so https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/blob/master/C... I'm a very active volunteer and can always use the help of folks that have tech experience already. We get lots of student volunteers that require a lot of work to shepherd. As such, issues tend to be claimed pretty fast but also medium sized ones don't always get through the finish line. Anyway, if you're seriously willing to commit some time you can tag me on their slack/github (@raybb). I'm currently doing a lot of performance related work (primarily migrating their codebase to fastapi) and I could use help but don't always open issues for it because sometimes guiding a non-experienced person is more work than just doing it. There's also quite some design work going on to

Thanks for letting me know. The link is working for me even in a private window. Not sure why that's happening. As an alternative you can visit https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/pulls and put the search as "is:pr author:RayBB is:merged"

Unfortunately the discussion mostly is on their public Slack channel which you have to fill out the volunteer form to join. But there are several more specific issues about performance: https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/issues?q=is%3...

Oh if you set the environment variable COMPOSE_FILE, you can specify a colon-separated list of compose files, which get merged together. This lets us have our core services in our main compose.yaml, since they're shared between dev and production, and then have extra services that are prod-only, or toggle certain prod-only environment variables, inside the compose.prod.yaml . And extra services/settings which we only want in the dev environment go in compose.override.yaml . Eg COMPOSE_FILE="compose.yaml:compose.prod.yaml" docker compose up My work is OS so you can check it out here if you wish: https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/

It seems like we need to trigger another import -- we only have 491 of their 1,000! But you can search Standard Ebooks books in Open Library. Here they are sorted by how many people have added them to their reading log: https://openlibrary.org/search?q=id_standard_ebooks%3A%2A&mo... Or by rating: https://openlibrary.org/search?q=id_standard_ebooks%3A%2A&mo... Or by first published! https://openlibrary.org/search?q=id_standard_ebooks%3A%2A&mo... I created an issue to kick off another import: https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/issues/9372

I'd like to make a pitch for Openlibrary.org the free online library from Internet Archive that includes a fulltext search of millions of books. I've been volunteering with them on and off for several years and it's always a lovely experience. Their backend is python and frontend mostly from python templates and some Vue for librarian stuff. Every Tuesday they have a call on Zoom that everyone is welcome to join to share what they're working on, ask for help, and generally chat a bit. It's a great time. Depending on what you're interested in there's a lot to do from helping build import pipelines for more book entries, writing bots to cleanup data, Performance improvements, better documenting public APIs, etc I'm currently slowly working on a wikidata integration for their authors page. We also could use some help upgrading to Vue 3, ment

OpenLibrary does provide search access to full texts. For example: https://openlibrary.org/search/inside?q=%22institutional+thi... It is open source and they're always looking for contributors. I think they'd especially welcome help improving search! https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/

I implemented it for OpenLibrary (https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/pull/5104) and it was surprisingly easy and works well!

I ran into the same problem while building https://learnawesome.org/ . Forget the broad class of "learning resources", even the "books" category doesn't have a usable unique ID. Not everything gets an ISBN for example. There's also the ambiguity between a "work" and an "edition" of a work. This is probably why OpenLibrary supports mapping of books with 40+ identifiers: https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/blob/master/o...

I love Open Library (and the internet archive project in general)—I've read so many good books through them! I really hope they don't get shut down. They're also truly open source: https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/
