The 49th Shelf
The 49th Shelf aims to provide access to every Canadian book; to provide a platform for discovering, learning about, discussing and promoting, buying, and finding ebook versions. Currently the site hosts about 50,000 books, their contributors, publishers, and lots of rich metadata like cover images, reviews, target audience and so on.
The project has several goals. Beyond the uppermost of supporting discoverability and community around books, the project is helping the book industry to find value in organizing and making bibliographic data available via the international ONIX standard. This is something that Mugo has a long interest in dating back to 2003 with it's online ONIX data management tool, PExOD built in conjunction with Simon Fraser University's Canadian Centre for Studies in Publishing.
The 49th Shelf is highly focused on an interactive experience, including lists by members and editors, star ratings, community reviews, community tagging of content, a dynamic activity timeline, Twitter feed integration, games (name that book cover!), and a blog.
