=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
pgrdf2marc.pl converts one or more items from the Project Gutenberg RDF
|
||||||
|
catalog into MARC format record(s).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The RDF is read from STDIN, and the MARC output to STDOUT.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Dublin Core tags used in the RDF are:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
dc:title
|
||||||
|
dc:alternative
|
||||||
|
dc:creator
|
||||||

=head2 Array element structure
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The conversion process makes use of a simple array structure,
|
||||||
|
where each array element contains the tag and data for a single MARC
|
||||||
|
field, separated by a single space.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
cols. 0-2 : tag number
|
||||||
|
col. 3 : blank
|
||||||
|
cols. 4-5 : indicators
|
||||||
|
cols. 6- : tag data
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
e.g.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
245 10|aSome title|h[GMD]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The '|' character is used to represent MARC subfield separators (0x1f).

Errata within eBooks. To report an error within an eBook (such as a missing word), please be sure to include the eBook number or specific filename or download link you used. Error reports are easiest to handle when they clearly indicate the context in which an error was found. Note that since Project Gutenberg includes many old titles, it is common for unusual spelling or arcane word uses to be used. If possible, check a printed source to verify whether an error exists, before reporting it. Messages to the errata list generate an automatic response that your report was received.

|
================
|

|
|
||||||
|
This page tells you how to find and get Project Gutenberg eBooks if:
|
||||||
|
- you don't want to use a browser to download eBooks but prefer other software like an ftp-client or wget, or
|
||||||
|
- you are on a slow or limited internet connection, or
|
||||||
|
- you'd rather have a handy book catalog to consult offline, or
|
||||||
|
- you would like to make your own listings or derivatives from this information.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## List of Sites Hosting Project Gutenberg EBooks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Project Gutenberg collection is available from dozens of sites offering access via http/https, ftp, rsync, and a few other methods. See our listing of [mirror sites](/dirs/MIRRORS.ALL) to choose the location, access method, or speed. Mirrors generally do not have a friendly Web-based front end, but do have the collection. See the [mirroring how-to](/help/mirroring.html) for details.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## The GUTINDEX Listings of EBooks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Updated at least monthly. These plain text files provide the basic information about each eBook, and are good for searching from your own system (for example, use control-F in a Web browser or word processor). Note that these files are not recommended for automation (that is, to use as input to generate a computerized database). Instead, use one of the catalog files mentioned below.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* [GUTINDEX.ALL](/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL)
|
||||||
|
* [GUTINDEX.zip](/dirs/GUTINDEX.zip) (same as above zipped)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### GUTINDEX Listings by Year
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If GUTINDEX.ALL is too big for you or you prefer separate annual lists, you can download GUTINDEX files by year.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
## Directory/Folder Listings
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can navigate the directory/folder contents starting at [/dirs](/dirs), however this is not very user-friendly.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## The Project Gutenberg Catalog Metadata in Machine-Readable Format
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### XML/RDF
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All Project Gutenberg metadata are [available digitally](/dirs/cache/feeds/) in the XML/RDF format. This is updated daily (other than the legacy format mentioned below). Please use one of these files as input to a database or other tools you may be developing, instead of [crawling or roboting](/policy/robot_access.html) the website.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that the exact same metadata is available as a *per-eBook* .rdf file. These are found in the cache/epub (i.e., cache/generated) directory, accessible by mirroring or by the directory/folder listings above. The large XML/RDF file is simply a concatenation of all the per-eBook metadata.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### MARC Records (MAchine Readable Cataloging)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
MARC is a common metadata format utilized by library card catalog databases. Steve Thomas of the University of Adelaide provided a Perl script to generate MARC records from the XML/RDF catalog files. Find it here: [pgrdf2marc.pl](/gutenberg/pgrdf2marc.pl.txt). You will need to rename it, and make any necessary changes to run on your own system. This is unsupported software, provided without warranty or guarantee.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These instructions were provided to Project Gutenberg, and are listed here in the hopes they may be useful.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Download the XML/RDF file (i.e., [https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/feeds/rdf-files.tar.zip](https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/feeds/rdf-files.tar.zip).
|
||||||
|
- Unzip, untar
|
||||||
|
- Run your modified copy of the Adelaide script above, pgrdf2marc.pl, against the untarred/unzipped RDF files to generate MARC records (there may be a few RDF records that do not convert, perhaps as many as 100)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## A Local, Browsable Copy on your own Computer or Mobile Device
|
||||||
|
[Kiwix](https://wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/Content) is an application that lets you download a large collection and use it locally. A copy of the Project Gutenberg content was made available in November 2018, and may be updated periodically.

Error 403
|
||||||
|
=========
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Sorry, but our website automatically denied you access to that page.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Maybe you have just a wrong url. Go to [www.gutenberg.org](/) to see whether the error persists.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you get the error again, this might explain what is happening:
|
||||||
|
- Visiting from a German Internet address? As of February 27 2018, addresses in Germany are blocked. For more information, see <a href="https://block.pglaf.org/germany.shtml">block.pglaf.org/germany.shtml</a>.</li>
|
||||||
|
- Anonymized IP addresses might trigger automated anti-abuse blocks. This can happen with anonymizers, open proxies, VPNs, or TOR, and includes the Google proxies that are used by Chrome.</li>
|
||||||
|
- Don't access Project Gutenberg from hosted servers.</li>
|
||||||
|
- Don't use automated software to download lots of books. We have a limit on how fast you can go while using this site. If you surpass this limit you get blocked automatically, and eventually blocks expire automatically.</li>
|
||||||
|
- Kindle users, and people using shared IP addresses (such as some schools) might trigger a block due to too many requests coming from the same address. </li>
|
||||||
|
- If you use the RSS feed, set your update interval to 24 hours.</li>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## What to do if I'm blocked inappropriately
|
||||||
|
If you are sure that none of the above applies to you,
|
||||||
|
and wish us to investigate the problem, please visit
|
||||||
|
<a href="http://block.pglaf.org">block.pglaf.org</a> and send the diagnostic
|
||||||
|
information to the email address listed there.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you were blocked mistakenly or inappropriately from accessing Project Gutenberg, we apologize for this. There are a variety of mechanisms we use to try to keep the site responsive, and they do not always work as intended. The instructions above will help to adjust the system, to enhance the ability of people to read Project Guteberg eBooks.

2. Download eBooks directly to your device over the Internet. If your device is Internet-enabled, just visit the catalog page for a book, and download one of the formats your device can display. Here is a sample catalog page: [www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/11](//www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/11). Use the author/title search boxes on every page at www.gutenberg.org to find eBooks you are interested in.

There are a few different challenges that many people face. Here are some of the ones we hear about most often.

1. How to save an eBook's file to transfer to your device. If you are using your computer to look at an eBook, you can save the eBook's file(s) to your computer so that you can copy it to your device. Try the "save as..." ... "HTML Complete" option in your Web browser to save the file(s) to a folder you choose, so that you can later transfer the files to your device. If you want to get a particular file format (such as the EPUB or MOBI format), from the Project Gutenberg download page you can right-click to get a pop-up menu, then "save as..." (or a similar option). If you don't have a right mouse button (on some Macs), use control-click to get the pop-up menu.

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For HTML, make sure you save the complete page. Some Web browsers just download the HTML (the text), and link back to the images at the www.gutenberg.org site. This won't work, since viewing the book will require you to be online, and link "inline" to those images. Project Gutenberg wants you to have the WHOLE eBook - download the complete HTML with images. All Web browsers offer this as a menu option, but it might not be the default choice.

1. Where is the file? If you just left-click a file to download, you might get a dialog box or something similar, asking whether you want to save the file. But where did it go? It seems there are many different places your computer might save the file, and they can be hard to find later. Use the "save as..." method mentioned above to choose a specific location. Also, keep in mind that the Project Gutenberg files might have names that don't related to the book's title (we use a numeric file naming scheme based on the eBook number). You can rename the files to anything you'd like, but you will first need to know where they are saved.

|

2. How to get the file to my device? This varies quite a bit, but the first step is to find where you saved the file (sometimes you can save directly to your device, if it is connected). One common variation is to connect your device to your computer, often with a USB cable. Then, just drag and drop (or use another method for copying files) to put the file on your device. Another common variation is to use a separate program that manages your device's content, and to open the file and transfer it from within that program (iTunes is a common example of this).

3. Hey, it doesn't look right! Project Gutenberg relies on several automated steps to create EPUB, MOBI, and some other specialized eBook reader formats. For a variety of reasons, this automation sometimes yields files that don't look right on every device, particularly those with small screens. One common problem is to have lots of white space at the top of an eBook, or very wide margins. Also, it might be that images (from the HTML version of the book) are not included in the automatically-generated version. If you got the right file, but it doesn't look right, it's probably not something you can fix. Try another file format, especially HTML or plain text. HTML and plain text can be viewed by many of the specialized eBook reader devices and mobile phones.

### Kindle Fire Review from 2012
|
|
||||||
In 2012, the Project Gutenberg Webmaster wrote a [Kindle Fire review.](/wiki/Gutenberg:Kindle_Fire_Review) Summary: If you fancy free eBooks, don't buy a Kindle Fire. The review suggests readers consider a Nexus 7 instead. Note that the products from Amazon and other suppliers have evolved, since this review was written.

### Alternate Apps and Formats

### Alternate Apps and Formats
|
||||||
For the Kindle Fire, and potentially other Kindle devices, you can install alternate eBook reader software. Advice we have received (might need adjustment for your specific device, or if some versions of software are updated from when these instructions were written): **install a third party EPUB reader** and start downloading the EPUB files instead of the Kindle files from this site. One good and free EPUB reader is [FBReader](http://www.fbreader.org/FBReaderJ). Download the *Android .2\* * package for the Kindle Fire and the *Android 4.\* * package for the Kindle Fire HD. You may want to read up on installing third party apps on the Kindle Fire. Advantages of EPUB files over Kindle files include: that they are much smaller than Kindle files and that they work on the Apple iPad too.

In 2015, Amazon started using the "kfx" file format for new Kindle readers. Project Gutenberg provides the MOBI format, which our download page calls "kindle" format. There are no immediate plans for Project Gutenberg to offer kfx format, but this may change in the future. Meanwhile, it appears that newer Kindle models can still utilize the other formats (MOBI, HTML and even plain text). There are many articles about how to convert files to the kfx format. [Here is one at The Digital Reader.com](http://the-digital-reader.com/2016/03/28/how-to-use-calibre-to-convert-ebooks-to-kfx-format-for-the-enhanced-kindle-typesetting/%7CHere)

If you live outside the U.S. you won't be able to access the iBookstore via the iBooks app.

Michael Hart, Project Gutenberg's founder, was a great believer in experimentation and pushing limits. As one of the earliest active sites for books, Project Gutenberg was a magnet for books in every possible format, and many copyrighted items were added with permission of the author.

Today, there are many more mechanisms for authors to distribute their works electronically. Project Gutenberg's website does not have, and will not have, the needed features and services for contemporary authors. For example, we do not accept works in Word or PDF (instead, master formats must include HTML, text, TeX and/or RsT). Another example is that our processes of putting new eBooks online is laborious, and is not a self-service process. This is simply not up to par with modern publishing platforms.

Project Gutenberg receives many requests for permissions to use eBooks, images from eBooks, or extracts. Most such requests are not needed, since permission is included in the items themselves (even for commercial use). This How-To provides responses to the most common inquiries. If your inquiry is not addressed, please email [Prof. Newby](/about/contact_information.html) with your permission requests. Responses are typically received within a day or so (or, re-send your request!).

Sometimes an eBook will include a transcription or image of the original title page, verso (obverse) or other pages from a source print book used for the eBook. This may include a copyright statement, which will usually be before 1964 (see our ["copyright how-to"](/how_to/copyright.html) for details). This does not mean that item is still copyrighted. The header/footer in the eBook from Project Gutenberg will mention that such items are in the public domain in the US.

Project Gutenberg cannot do this on your behalf, and does not have any ability to sublicense copyrighted works.

This includes Google, Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox and maybe more. Project Gutenberg does link to third party sites wherever users have come to expect this. Many of those sites are notorious wholesale collectors of private data, and it has been reported that such data are freely shared with national spy organizations and others. However, we are very careful to link in a manner that does not allow those third party websites to see what you are doing on Project Gutenberg unless you explicitly click on one of those links. If you click on a third party link, you will leave the Project Gutenberg website, and we cannot tell you what the other site will do with your data.

The Project Gutenbeg website has links to external sites that it does not control and has no relationship to. Some of those sites are notorious wholesale collectors of private data, and it has been reported that such data are freely shared with national spy organizations and others. We strive to link in a manner that does not allow those third party websites to see what you are doing on Project Gutenberg unless you explicitly select one of those links. When you select a third party link, you will leave the Project Gutenberg website, and we cannot tell you what the other site will do with your data.
