LibraryThing’s OverCat Now Includes All 12.3 Million Open Access Bibliographic Records from the Harvard Library

That’s the word in a recent post on the LibraryThing Blog.
Big Kudos to LT!
From the Blog Post:

It took a while to process, but we’ve finally completed adding all 12.3 million MARC records (3.1GB of bibliographic goodness!) to LibraryThing. They’ve gone into OverCat, our giant index of library records from around the world—now numbering more than 51 million records! As a result, when searching OverCat under “Add books,” you’ll now see results “from Harvard OpenMetadata.”

Harvard released the 12.3 million records (using a CC0 license) on April 24th. Here’s our coverage.
