Sample Patron Session

The patron locates a classic title in your catalog (Jane Eyre, A Christmas Carol, etc.).  The catalog records include a hot link to the Project Gutenberg site.

Each Gutenberg title can be downloaded in a variety of format for different readers.  The patron chooses from a variety of formats including HTML, EPUB, Kindle, Plucker, QiOO Mobile, UTF-8, plain text or .txt, or compressed zip files.    A few records have audio files with audio formats as well.

The bibliographic record from your catalog takes your patron directly to the title page on Project Gutenberg site
