Nick Rosasco and I have been discussing the possibility of a "CDDB" type
interface that would be able to lookup biblio information from the library
of congress. allowing some sort of synchronization and standardization of
catalogs using the LOC as the master. CDDB is a website/protocol that fills
in the titles to you CD if you put on in your computer.. instead of track
1..2..3.. you get "artist - title".

Apparently LOC has an existing protocol to interact with book/biblio lists
in a programmatic fashion.
I'd like to propose, at least adding to the to-do list, the ability to sync
the index tables using the LOC and z39.50

I may try to implement the protocol myself in windows, just for S's and G's
