Hi Cheryl,
I think even a modest college library has something like half a million books. In addition, they have access to interlibrary loan, and all sorts of periodicals. I think we'll be there one day, but probably not in the next year or two!

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] number of books in library


Hi everyone.

The notice that bookshare now has 24,000 books got me thinking. What's the average number of books in a public library, or a university library? I'm just wondering how the bookshare collection compares to other collections. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy bookshare and I have tons of books that I'm not sure I can ever read in my lifetime.
