Bug Description
This may be two separate issues, but here they are in case it is related (see possible theory below).
First if you click 'read online' from this record http://
Second, there are two editions of a book with slight variations in the title. They both open with 'read online' just fine. The first http://
I also noticed the titles cropped slightly, which lead me to wonder about the Open Library xsl filter. It seems to be picking up more of the MARC record than the usual IA filter. For example the reference numbers for Sabin under 'Edition Notes' are included http://
Possible theory: until the xsl filter could be put in place, we decided I should copy/paste the rest of the title into the metadata of each and every record that needed it as I entered the picklists in. Consequently there are a lot of titles here with hand edited metadata. I wonder if the affect of this longer than usual title may be messing up the books importing into Open Library? I think the Gazeta may just be a serial issue with too many books under the same metadata, but I'm not sure about the others.
Just an update: I described the first part of this bug to OL (and linked them to this report)
Sent the email today, so we'll wait for a reply. Sorry about the delay!
